Customer Reviews

Great first book

This has very quickly become my 14-month-old's favorite book (and he has quite a few). He's able to open the flaps himself - each flap is the size of a whole page, with a little cut-out tab to get a grip on it. Each page goes by quickly (good for short attention spans!), with a simple "This little baby is hiding/hungry/happy/sad/sleepy", with the flaps revealing simple baby-talk phrases like peekaboo, yum-yum, night-night, and a baby face to go with the phrase. Every time he picks up this book, he insists on reading it through no less than 10 times in a row.

Great "first" book

My daughter (and I!) absolutely love this book! So much, that it has had to be replaced a couple of times. She gets so excited to pull back the flaps and shout out what she is expecting to see. We started reading it at about 6 months - and now at 11 months, she knows it cover to cover!

great for even small babies

This was one of the first few books I purchased for my son because I read that babies like to look at other babies. He loves this book! Even at 3 months he would squeal at the pictures. At five months he was trying to lift the flaps. The pictures of emotions with the simple labels are now helping him to imitate sounds at nine months. I highly recommend this to moms looking for books for young babies.

Great pull down flaps

We have had this book since our son was born and even as a young infant he was interested in the book. He really enjoys it now that he can say some of the words (13 months old). There are real pictures which he seems to be more interested in than cartoon drawings.

Baby Loves It

Our baby, now 15 months, has loved this book since we got it. I'm now ordering my third copy, as she destroyed one and lost the other. She's a very bright girl, and this one is her favorite.
