This is a perfectly fine high-contrast board book that does exactly what it says on the tin: shows babies bold black-and-white pictures of tennis stuff. If you're a tennis family, it's a sweet way to introduce your newborn to the sport during those bleary-eyed early months.

But let's be real—this is a tool, not a book. There's no story, no characters, no reason for a 14-month-old (or a 4-year-old sibling) to pick it up. You'll use it for a few months during tummy time, then it'll migrate to the bottom of the book bin. The 4.6 Amazon rating suggests parents appreciate it for what it is, but the lack of reviews elsewhere tells you it's not a must-have.

If you're deciding between this and a more versatile high-contrast book (or one with textures, mirrors, or flaps), go with the latter unless you're genuinely passionate about tennis. It's wholesome and safe, but too narrow and short-lived to score higher.
