I don't ask for much but I am going to need everyone in this family to keep track of their own fucking tummies.

Well if this isn't the cutest thing ever, I don't know what is. I lost it at the tushy page. That baby's face is hilarious.

i'm always up for a new Karen Katz book, but i'm often diappointed. this one was very similar to other titles. The only really unique flap was the tushy one. The pattern was the same as her other lift the flap books, but i did like that all but one of the flaps was rhe shape of the item, not a full page flap. Natalie liked this book, and most cool was that she is naturally saying the prepistional phrases under the flaps, so I can start connecting words to meaning and praise her reading. Also, Natalie though the first picture was upside down (and that the baby needed socks), and I was able to show her that I know which way is right based on the letters being right side up.

We have enjoyed all the Karen Katz books we've read. This one was enjoyable as well. I snagged it at the big used booksale in Phoenix this past weekend. My 3 year old still loves lift the flap books and my 3 month old enjoyed it because of the bright, vibrant colors. This is another good body part book for infants and I think it's one that my 3 year old will be able to read with my youngest when she gets a bit older and can sit and interact with her.

The only reason I gave this one of Katz’s book more than I normally do is because my daughter thought the peekaboo butt was hilarious.
I appreciate that Katz makes her babies diverse, but the problem is that it’s all the exact same baby— she just changes the skin tone/hair color.
As an artist I can understand that this is her style, I’m just reaaaaaally not a fan.

My ten-month-old enjoyed this. She has a similar Karen Katz book at home, so I grabbed this from the library. She's really starting to get into the whole lift-the-flap thing now.

So, Grandma Marka was visiting and I had just woken up from nap and I was scared of her--then she held this up and said "want to read a book?" and I scurried right over.

Even though I do it sometimes I still find it odd to talk about eating babies' body parts so this whole book is just uncomfortable. 😅

Cute book with the creepiest title ever.

Cute. 2 year old really liked it too.

Yummy Tummy is from a peek a boo. I also thinks it's pretty awesome . This is a great book for parents to read to there baby. It gets them involved with there sensory skills at a young age in which I absolutely LOVE !!

I prefer Where is baby's belly button, but this one is ok if perhaps a bit odd.

[Rachael · Rating 3 out of 5]

I didn't realize that this is a companion to "Where is Baby's Belly Button?" but it almost seems like the same exact book. I got this out of the library because my son is really interested in his belly, but he was somewhat bored by this. We had just finished the Belly Button one and I think the flaps are better in that one. You can't really go wrong with this format though so I still give it 3 stars.

This (along with Brown Bear Brown Bear) was one of the very first books to hold my son's attention. Now, at 9 months, he's lifting the flaps himself (and trying to eat and/or rip them off the page, but still), and this is still a favorite.

Fun because we can find the body parts on Squirt, too, which gets a giggle.

All About Me Babytime - I gave the parents scarves so they can act it out as we read. Very cute!

I liked the one about baby's tush and under the diaper.
