An award-winning series of touchy feely, peekaboo books for babies and toddlers, perfect for early learning - developing young children's thinking and memory skills, and stimulating their senses; and each adorable book makes a wonderful baby gift.
This is an incredibly interactive board book that asks the reader to identify various body parts (eyes, nose, ears, and toes) by pointing. Finding the body parts requires turning and opening pages and flaps. The correct parts are made in different tactile materials.
My top three favorite things about this book:
1. The backgrounds are white, and the pictures are clear. It doesn't offer distractions, which is great since it's asking very specific questions.
2. Everything is written in complete sentences. The dialogue that it creates offers both encouragement and reinforcement.
3. The peekaboo aspect (which requires you to do a little digging to find the body parts) presents the opportunity to turn the pages and really explore the physicality of the book. I appreciate that so much, and think it's incredibly important for young ones.
Bonus: I love watching how proud she is when she properly identifies the correct body part. :)
Lots of flaps for the baby to lift. Where is the bear's nose? Where are the dinosaur's toes? The textures are well done (the bear's nose is soft and squishy, etc), and the book is heavy-duty and holds up well.
The doll's eyes are a bit too sparkly. Why are they so blue?!
