Customer Reviews

Cute with good ideas

I checked this book out of the library while looking for ideas to entertain and stimulate my 9 month old. It is a cute little book with lots of simple ideas that are easy to do. So far, all of the ones we have tried have gotten anywhere from a giggle to a belly laugh. Very cute.

A great baby shower gift!

Clever and funny, this tongue-in-cheek book is for "grown-ups" who love babies and aren't afraid to act like one. A perfect gift for new parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and siblings of babies. And did I mention "witty"? My favorite is #66, which I would have named "The Sisyphus." These "97 ways" actually work--or I know alot of silly babies. Don't forget to leave a copy around for the babysitter.

Great Daddy Shower Gift

I think this is a cute little book. Only fault is it lacks alot of substance, but its silly with great little photos. My husband and I are having our first baby Spring 2002. Some friends of mine are throwing a Daddy Shower for my husband as a gag party, and to make him feel like he is part of it all. I think for $7~or less it's a great little gift idea.

How fun & creative!

This book would make a lovely gift for a new parent. It offers fun & imaginative ways to make your little one laugh. It also has a few old standbys! I liked the tongue in cheek humor offered by the author with several suggestions :) Sure to bring a smile & a chuckle to the parent while eliciting giggles & laughs from the little ones. This author definitely has a great sense of humor, & a lot of energy for his little one!

This book is an excellent book for mother's and first born.

This book offers imaginative ways to get your baby to laugh. It is great if you are a new mother or are looking for a baby shower gift. I love it.
