Busy, Busy Baby

by Allia Zobel Nolan

Filled with engaging four-color illustrations, Busy, Busy Baby also includes a spinning mirror that is fantastic for creating opportunities for interactivity with a young baby. One side of the mirror has an illustration of a baby's face, with the other mirrored side providing an opportunity for the baby to see his or her own face on the body of the active baby. In this simple book, readers will see the busy baby playing peek-a-boo, standing up tall, playing a drum, and holding a book. The main message throughout the book is God's amazing love for everyone, but specifically for the reader. Busy, Busy Baby is a fantastic way to expose young babies to the love of God in a way that engages them physically and mentally.
