A host of adorable babies searches through their clothes, under furniture, and just about everywhere to find their noses, until the back of the book reveals a mylar mirror where the reader can discover his or her own nose.
I've been writing stories and songs for over 25 years, and have written for a wide variety of media.

My books have been published by Disney Publishing, Scholastic, Pearson Learning, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Steck-Vaughn, and Random House, just to name a few. Many of my stories have universal appeal with a number of them having been translated into other languages. I've also written package copy, instructions, web content, SEO copy, taglines, and product names for entertainment giant Hasbro, Inc. In the world of TV and video, I co-created Nickelodeon’s Moose A. Moose and Z Bird characters, and have written music for National Geographic, NOVA, the National Wildlife Federation, and The Wildlife Conservation Society. One of my children's songs, "Where's My Nose?" won third place in the International Songwriting Competition. I also write educational videos for students in grades K-8. As the Manager of Interpretation at Roger Williams Park Zoo in Providence, Rhode Island, I helped create the on-grounds experience through creative and informative graphics, exhibit themes, hands-on interactives, and live performances. My home is in Rhode Island where I write in the company of my 2 dogs and very bossy bird.
Thanks to this book, George can identify one of his body parts. He also has the opportunity to gaze intently at his reflection on the final mirror page (which he is a fan of).
This book is our jam. Mama said she read it to us when we were baby babies, but we couldn't be bothered. Well, times have changed and thank goodness it's ours so we can demand to read it everyday, which we do. We know all our body parts, so we can point them out in the book and on whomever is within reach. Only downside is the abysmally blurry mirror at the end. 👃 👀 👄
The nose is on his face. I pointed this out on page 1 and my 11 month old was upset I spoiled the ending.
The illustrations are adorable and the rhymes are cute. The addition of the mirror at the end is great for young babies who are learning their reflections.
More importantly, the book is sturdily constructed to withstand multiple reads or a baby practicing to read by themselves.
