Lots of lovely ideas here for the baby to enjoy while still very young - but I like the idea of books for later, too. Last year 'The Lost Words' - by Robert McFarlane and fabulously illustrated by Jackie Morris ( Jackie already mentioned on this thread) won an award for the most beautiful book of 2018. It costs about £25 and is worth every penny.
The poems - about conkers, brambles, herons, newts etc. celebrate the natural world in Britain which so many children no longer experience unless they have parents to help them experience same. You would think they would be too difficult for young children to appreciate - but my 5 year old GC loves them.
