Note: this review is for three of the series.
A trio of touchy-feely board books that feature a cute Caucasian baby with his/her blankie. In Busy Baby, we see a variety of activities that baby goes through in his/her day, the blankie firmly in place on each page. In Hide-and-seek Baby, the baby is back, playing one of the most favorite games of all babies. Readers are invited to provide an accompanying action for each body part that’s hiding, i.e. press your nose after you “find” baby’s nose. In Cuddly Baby, each page has a different sensory piece on a different cuddly animal. Readers are directed to the animal part that needs touching (i.e. “feel its squashy tummy”). These are great books for one-on-one reading, especially for caregivers who aren’t familiar with how to read a board book to a baby— fleshing out what you see on the page. I plan to use these in my lapsits, not put them out for general circulation, but they’ll hold up well either way.

My children love the feel of the fuzzy blankets on each of the pages. It is neat to see them looking at pictures of babies doing the same things they do on a daily basis. These books are high quality and very durable.
