It’s cute, nothing crazy and it’s pretty short but my son seemed to enjoy it a lot; he asked me to read it about 15 times in a row. The lyrics rhyme so sang it like a song & he really liked that. I pretty much have the entire book memorized now.

Toddler didn't like it as well as the smile book, but still engaging.

My least favorite Baby Faces book, but still a hit because of the real baby pictures.

Read at WD library in WI

Free board book from the library. Apparently, babies start being fascinated by other babies' faces at around 6 months, so these are developmentally appropriate?

Natalie really liked her copy of Smile from the doctor's office until some pea vomit retired it to the trash. At the library today, she found this other installment of the same series. She enjoys looking at the photographs of the babies. The text isn't that great, but they are great photographs of babies in different wet situations, like the bath, swimming, and rain.

Oliver enjoys seeing all the baby faces playing in the bathtub!

We've started looking at this book again. Oliver is now 18 months old and we point out the babies features. I ask Oliver, "Where are the baby's eyes?" and he points to them. He's got eyes, ears, nose, mouth, tongue, teeth, and fingers down. But we just added in cheeks and he was able to point to the baby's cheeks!

Lots of baby faces, which my little one seems to enjoy poking in the eyes. The text is not that exciting, but for children who are still being introduced to story time, this book (and the other books in the series) are very quick reads.

A cute book with pictures of happy babies enjoying playing in the water. Little ones love to look at pictures of babies and this is a good book for that.
