Object permanence is fucking weird. Self-awareness is fucking weird. Being a baby, living in a crazy ass universe where things are, but then cease to be is fucking weird.

Here’s an example.

My daughter likes to kick the shit out of this inflatable penguin. It’s one of those things that has sand in the base so that it’ll pop back up once it is knocked down. It’s like that Chumbawamba tune, only it doesn’t make you want to kill yourself. She has fun with this penguin. But occ...more

I think this book is an amamzing book. Not only is it a good read but if you have babys it is a good way for them to be able to learn where the different parts of there body are.
The wrods are easy for them to understand so that as they get a little older they can start reading it for themselves and understanding what it means on there own. It is alwasy good to have a book a child can read on theer own to make learn and understand that.
Then there is the pictures. They are colorful and...more

One of my daughter's early favorites, this lift-the-flap book used to send her into spasms of giggles when she was just a little infant. We ended up getting almost all of Karen Katz's books for her, and she's loved every one of them.

I've become a big Katz fan because her illustrations are not only charming, they always depict kids of various ethnic backgrounds. Another plus - her books are short. You parents out there know what I'm talking about! As much as we love reading to our kids ...more

June 2010 - We were passing a little time in Border's and I saw this in the board book section. Its possible that we had seen it before, either on our own or at story time, or it might have been a similar title. Anyway, I thought this book was very cute. I liked the flaps. We were shopping for lift the flap books, but this one was a little too short for the cost in my opinion. Natalie seemed to like it, and she even pulled down on of the flaps herself.

June 2011 - Natalie was r...more

This is a cute variation on Peek-a-Boo (one of Gavin's current interests!) that also introduces body parts like hands, eyes, belly button. Each page asks where one of baby's body parts is (it's hidden by clothing, the cat, etc.) and then there are flaps you can lift to reveal them.

Reading this to Gavin was exciting because this is the first book where he seemed to make the connection about opening the flaps by himself. So now I'm going to have to look for other flap books.

Easily one of my son's favorite books, this one entered our library several months ago as part of my ongoing quest to teach him (my son) various parts of the body. I'm not sure whether we've succeeded in that goal yet, but he simply adores lifting the flaps in this book to find baby's eyes, mouth, belly button, hands, and so forth. This is definitely one of our favorite reads.

At one, Lily loves this peek-a-boo flap book. She likes any of Karen Katz board books. I like this one the best because I can teach her about her body parts. She points to the baby's body parts when she find them and then I point to hers. She thinks this is very funny. The other books in the series don't focus as much on babies...more objects. She loses interest with the rest faster.

It's all right. Honestly, I'm not sure what I think of the flap-books. They get torn and ripped, and the flaps go missing... sure it's fun the first couple of times, but then you have to be really careful and you get bored because there's no story, just silly pictures... my daughter wanted to read this one six times, and I was finished after the first read through.

My daughter loves this book. The colors are bright and fun, the flaps are engaging (and I like interactive type books for babies), and when she lifts the flaps she smiles and laughs. I teach her the body parts with this book -- baby's eyes, baby's hands, baby's feet, baby's belly button. Also you can teach the objects used -- like the bubbles, hat, cup etc.

This book just looked too cute and after reading it, it was. This is a peek-a-boo book with flaps for baby to lift up and see what is hiding. The pictures were easy to relate to infants. It is sturdy and durable enough for little chubby hands and so that it won’t break or tear.

I love naming off body parts to babies. They love it and it helps them learn the parts. This is an interactive book that asks questions like "where are baby's eyes?". It has flaps to open so the child can interact and guess what's behind the flap. This is a great starter book for a baby.
Joanna
The colors are bright and beautiful, with lots of contrasting textures. It's like a patchwork quilt, warm, comfy, with lots to draw in your eyes. The kids love the flaps, but like most flappy books I've seen, the drawback is that they can tear under little hands.

This whole series is great. The words are mostly ones that Cady knows so she can begin to read it on her own from memory. The flaps can be ripped of but are easily glued back on.
Lily
This book is so much fun for the little ones! Karen Katz involves the little readers in her book by asking them to identify a body part (that is hidden) it gets the reader so involved!

Daphne is 3 months old and this is a winner, just long enough to keep her attention, great for chewing on and apparently when you open the flaps its the most amazing thing ever.
Christina
Christopher picked this one at the library and wants to read it all the time. He loves lifting the flaps and finding the body parts on himself too! It's very cute!
Alycia Boyce
Cute book for younger children that helps teach or reinforce where their body parts are. Great for a pre-k read aloud and it can be easily turned into a fun game.

Laila loves all of her Karen Katz books, especially the flip tab ones. She can now say and look for your belly button, so this one was her fav I guess!!

This is one of Maggie's favorite books. Every time I pull it out she gets super excited. The peek-a-boo books are definitely a winner in our house!

This is such a fun interactive book. My son really loves it and picks it up and brings it to us to read to him all the time. Great learning book!

Super cute book for baby. Colorful pictures with a "flap" so baby can lift it to find the baby in the picture's eyes, feet, etc. My baby loved it!

My 10 month old daughter absolutely loves this book. We point to her belly button, her feet and her mouth as we read the book! GOOD TIMES!

One of my baby's favorite books. She loves looking at the baby faces, and the "peekaboo" flaps.
