Babies love looking at faces, especially when they're smiling-as in this second title in an innovative new series designed for infants by SAMi. Smiles! features bold and exuberant illustrations and... This description may be from another edition of this product.
My 9 week old enjoys this book. It began to capture her attention for about a week or two. I think its the bold black-white, simple drawings. It's not really a "book" from the stand point of a story (just has about 10 different pictures that say who each person is), so I'm sure it will have a limited life. But hey, that's what the parent is for - to interject your own stories or conversations. For now, it's great because my baby studies the faces for a couple minutes, which she isnt doing with any other book. So its one book among others that we "work on" at storytime. It also has the thick board pages with the foam material in between. Im not sure if my baby will be interested in this book when she's developed the motor skills to turn its pages, but it is helpful for ME since im trying to hold her scrunched up body with the other arm.
Only book that keeps my daughter's interest

My daughter has loved this book from the age of 3 months till now (8 months). She's fascinated with the faces which are drawn simply but sharply and colorfully. She loves to touch the book, turn the pages, and stick her fingers through the holes in the page (where some faces have a mouth, there's a mouth shaped hole where you can see through to the next face's mouth). The cover doesn't do justice to the pictures inside the book, they are bright, bold and colorful.
