The classic board book has returned From bold to bashful, this board book bursts with babies. With its invitingly simple, rhythmic text and stunning images of infants, readers will want to keep... This description may be from another edition of this product.
You don't have to be an infant to love this book, as becomes clear from the delight it gives one 12-year old we know and love. But there's something very fetching about infants, even for kids bordering on adolescence. In this case, the book may operate as something of a replacement for baby pictures that don't exist, since the child was adopted well past toddler-hood. But the 28 pages of huge black and white photographs of infants are also in themselves a great draw, what with feet, hands, faces, and bare bottoms all thrown together with a 65-word poem, and a full-page mirror for the baby (or child) to see himself. For infants and older kids, the message is terrific: you're special for being you.--Alyssa A. Lappen
my 2 month old loves this book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This book thrills my two month old. We go from cover to cover over and over again before he tires of looking at the pictures. He clearly enjoys it more than any other board book we have shown him. I also like the multi-cultural aspect of the book and the variety of expressions on the babies' faces. As the coordinator for a home visiting program for families with new babies, I am ordering copies to give as a gift to our parents.
My Daughter's Favorite!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
My daughter is eleven months old and for several months now this has been her favorite book. She is enamored with all of the baby faces and looks carefully at each one as we slowly turn through the pages. The black and white photography in this book is excellent and the simple rhyming cadence of the words is perfect for babies. Usually I bring several books at once to read for her and as we read other books she glances over at this one laying closed next to me as if she wishes we could read it over and over.
A wonderful book for all children.

This beautiful, rythmic book is perfect for a child of any age. My son fell in love with it when he was only 4 months old. He still reads it daily. This book is a treasure!
A wonderful interactive book for any baby!

My son, who is now 17 months, has loved this book to pieces, literally! I am now buying a replacement copy; the first has now shown too much wear and tear. The photographs are quite engaging of happy babies, bare babies, wet and dry babies. And the suprise and the end is one that every baby will love
