Where Is Baby's Belly Button? by Karen Katz is a lift-the- flap book focusing on babies and body parts in a question and answer format.
Katz' colorful illustrations feature babies of various ethnic backgrounds looking for a specific body part. Body parts shown are the eyes, mouth, belly button, feet, and hands. The items hiding the body parts are hat, cup, shirt, cat, bubbles, and blanket. The question pages feature a bright background color: green, blue, gold, yellow and pink. My favorite images...more

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 occasionally, while she’s p...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 ful of sh...more

Karen Katz, Where's Baby's Belly Button? (Simon and Schuster, 2000)
A lift-the-flaps book Karen Katz-style, with her distinctive illustrations and simple text. It's a lovely book, but it's getting a slightly lower review than I'd otherwise give it because it's not as well-constructed as it would be reasonable to expect given that much of the flap-lifting is going to be done by the pre-lit set; the flap on the back page, especially, is likely to start coming loose after just weeks of handling (it...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 and know t...more

I read this book and it is a very colorful book with flip-the-flap. The book contains drawings of babies with some parts of their body hidden in flaps. Each page asks "where is baby's ......?" and the child will will lift the flaps to find the hidden pictures. The pictures are great with good fabric and wallpaper paterns. I will put this book on my shelf and I will recommend the book for toddlers to learn body parts.

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.

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.
All the Karen Katz lift the flap books are great and have been a big hit with my child since she was 5 months old. Lift-the-flap never seems to lose its appeal and these flaps are sturdy, which I appreciate. I like that the kids are of different races and not gender stereotyped. I'm pretty sure this book was the reason my child learned all her body parts way earlier than expected.
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.
Just read this book yesterday to my kids. Great book that teaches children their different body parts. One of my kids started lifting up his shirt and points to his belly button when parents come to pick up. The flaps in the book and illustrations are amazing. My kids were glued to the book.
Interesting interactive twist on a simple board book format. I could see the flaps which revealed body parts to get thrashed and damaged pretty quick. Other than that, a great idea for a story and educational too. I understand there is an ebook version which could also bee cool too.
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.
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.
A good choice for storytime for the very young. The text is repetitive (simply "where is baby's _____" with a lift-up flap) and could easily be duplicated on the child for an early-years storytime. Might be paired with "head and shoulders" or another body-based song.
My 8 month old loved it, and even tried to lift a flap or two near the end, but I think he may be too young just yet. Or the flaps will not last more than a single read through. Pretty flimsy. But I might be biased because we are still in the board book only stage.
Good baby storytime book to introduce parents to the different styles of board books. Also, babies love to see the movement and changed pictures when you lift the flaps. Plenty of interaction and talking can be done with each page!
Another Karen Katz book that we like. We're even missing a couple of the flaps, but that doesn't spoil the fun.
Bold and bright colors draw the young reader in. The flaps keep him entertained. Good fun reading this.

This was one of my daughter's first books as an infant and she loved it. Even as she got older she chose it often for me to read to her. It is really cute and is good for teaching young toddlers about body parts.
Every child loves pop up books. This book is made for young children that are learning their parts of the body. Every child loves playing peek a boo, so this book will be great to engage children in learning their body.
My baby looooves playing with this life-the-flap book and I can see her little eyes learning about the parts of the body. Awesome, Karen Katz, awesome. How do you know just what a little baby will like?
At 6 1/2 months old, my daughter doesn't seem interested in these flap books at all. She gets bored while I'm trying to find where the flaps open.
Maybe as she gets older, she'll find them more interesting.

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.
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.
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!
