Where is My Baby? [Board book]

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Harriet Ziefert and Caldecott Medalist Simms Taback team up for a pair of lift-the-flap board books. Where Is My Baby? features mamas' search for their little ones, naming them as they go ("Here is my calf," says the cow). In Who Said Moo?, Red Rooster wants to know who answered his morning call ("Someone said moo. Was it you?") and discovers a wide array of animal sounds.

Product Description

This deceptively simple, excitingly illustrated board book is based on a telling theme- that baby animals are known by names quite different from their parents (cow and calf, goat and kid). The text is perfectly targeted to the youngest children, who will thoroughly enjoy lifting the flaps and matching the baby animals to their mothers. The sumptuously colorful illustrations are sure to catch the rapt attention of the smallest child.

5.0 out of 5 stars Where is my baby?, December 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Where Is My Baby?: Life the Flap Book (Paperback)

This book makes wonderful use of flaps. The momma animal says, "Where is my baby?" with a sad look on her face on the left side of the page. A partial flap on the right side covers the baby animal, but not the rest of the picture, making the flap easy to grab and turn. The words under the flap says, "Here is my _____." [it fills in the blank with the appropriate name of the baby animal] It has been one of my son's favorite books since he was 12 months old! The pages are made of sturdy material helping it hold up to many "self" readings by my son! The lively colored art keeps both child and parents' attention. A must buy! I am giving it to every child on our Holiday list this year.

5.0 out of 5 stars A hit with the 2 year old, December 30, 2003

By	Rachel Andrews "hexmedia2" (Bellingham, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Where is My Baby? (Board book)

She loves this lift the flap book that teaches the terms for baby animals and animal sounds. I like it because the flaps are all shaped differently and are at odd angles. The illustration is cute too, and the last page has all the animals lined up so you can count them, and review names and sounds.
