"Smile!", by Roberta Grobel Intrater, is a delightful execution of a simple idea. This short book consists of close-up portraits of 12 babies of various ethnic groups. Along the bottom of the portraits run lines from a simple rhyme: "Look at the birdie / Come on, say cheese / Give me a smile / Will you, please?" etc.

Nothing groundbreaking here in terms of photography or text, just some good wholesome fun. Try incorporating the book into the popular "peek-a-boo" game!

My 9 month old loved the faces in this book, but I couldn't let him read it on his own because the cardboard isn't laminated very heavily. As soon as he started chewing on it, it bubbled up and started peeling away. Doesn't hold up as well as a number of other board books we have. Will keep it for when he's older.

Our 5 month old baby loves looking at the pictures of the smiling babies!

This is not a very good board book. It's not as well constructed or heavy as some we have (big book of animals by Roger Priddy, Peek a Who, My Car, etc.)and there are not very many pictures. I think 10 pictures in the entire book. Not worth the price...

I bought this book for my little one and although he enjoys looking at the pages I can tell there could be improvements on the quality. The pictures are not as crisp as they can be. There is one photo where a little boy (?) is not smiling. The pages are not as stiff as some other board books that I have. Overall, this is great to add, but this book can use some improvements. I would like to see other board books that have baby faces on them to compare to this one. That's why I rated it 3 stars overall.

This is a great,well made, and well thought out book for babies and toddlers. The language used with the photographs doesn't trash the English language trying to make cutesy rhymes. The photographs are fun and well done. Any in this series are great. My child loves them.

This book with all these sweet baby faces is so amazing. My baby loves to look at all the little faces and always enjoy to watch them. It's really funny book that brings smiles to everybody whom look at it. I recommend it to all mothers and thier children.

The baby photos in this book are great and this book has been a favorite of our son's starting at one month. AT 15 months he still loves it. The text is fine but mostly he just loves looking at the fascinating baby faces.

Bought this book for grandson and he loves it! Now passed on the his brother.

My 8 month old love to look at this book--babies love to look at other babies. He smiles the entire time and will look at the book on his own for 10-15 minutes. I have given this book to several friends of mine as shower gifts and they have all said that this book is their childrens' favorite (while they are babies).
