5.0 out of 5 stars Great fun for baby and parents!, October 9, 2001

By	marared (Southern California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Where Is Baby's Belly Button? (Board book)

This is a nice sturdy book with colorful drawings of babies with some part of their body hidden. Each page asks, "Where is baby's ...?" Toddlers delight in lifting the flaps to find the hidden pictures. The pictures are bright and cute with eye-catching fabric and wallpaper patterns. A very attractive book, and perfect for that stage when toddlers become fascinated with their belly buttons! My 17 month old has really enjoyed this book. It can be very helpful in getting kids to name body parts, and it's fun for both the baby and the parents to read. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for your baby's first library!, April 7, 2003

By	Tiare Solorzano "Mother of 3, Child Developme... (Citrus Heights, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Where Is Baby's Belly Button? (Board book)

Both of my children (now 18 months and 3) learned many body parts from this book, which encourages children to lift the flaps and search for babies' hands (under the bubbles!), toes, and even belly buttons. The illustrations are colorful and simple, which is very engaging for a 12-18 month old. I also love the focus on learning spatial relations (behind, under, etc.), and the great fine-motor skill practice that comes from lifting these oversized flaps. The flaps are as sturdy as most, but they will eventually separate from the book, o keep your wide scotch tape handy!

5.0 out of 5 stars My 10-month-old lights up when he sees this book!!, September 4, 2001

By	"foxlondon" (Virginia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Where Is Baby's Belly Button? (Board book)

My son loves all books. The only time he will sit still is when I read to him. The rest of the time, he is on the move (even when he's eating). When I got him this book, he absolutely lit up! I had never seen a book elicit the kind of joy and amazement that this book does. So, it is defintely the favorite one in our house. I've read it to him hundreds of times, but he still giggles when I lift the first flap to expose Baby's eyes. He bends down to kiss every baby on every page. (Some of the pages are starting to stick together from all his wet kisses!) Some of the flaps are wearing down a bit from his uncoordinated hands trying to lift the flaps. But, I won't mind spending the extra $$ for a new one if I need to. The look on his face when I read him this book gets me every time!!
