The Baby's Game Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
All of Isabel Wilner's children's books are wonderful, and this is no exception. Great games to play with babies, the songs you heard as a child -- but with the words!! In case (like me) you've forgotten them. Get this and ALL her books!
New Baby Gift
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This is the perfect gift for the new baby! Isabel Wilner has gathered familiar and not-so-familiar rhymes that introduce simple games to play with babies. Several rhymes name the fingers and toes. Others make great lap games. Others encourage an action on the baby's part. My granddaughter's favorite is, "Put your finger in foxy's den." The den is made by making a fist with one hand. The baby puts her finger in the fist! Rhymes and games to accompany bath-time, bed-time, and just plain fun-time have instructions for the novice parent, grandparent, relative or friend.The illustrations by Sam Williams are whimsical or realistic, whichever is required. All are gentle. Pastel watercolor images set a restful tone. Notable is the presence of the father as caregiver and playmate.
great for first time parents!

This book gives you activities to stimulate your baby from infancy through toddler-hood! It's also good when you're a new parent and aren't sure what games to play with a small infant. My daughter loves the foot-tapping rhymes!
