My 9 month old absolutely loves this book! She loves watching herself when I reverse the camera on my phone, so I decided to pull this book out of storage and it was a huge hit. She watches her reflection in the mirror as I read each page and then kisses it before I turn the page.
This book is great for toddlers too! As my little one gets older we will use it to learn body body parts and make silly faces to mimic the characters in the book.
The simple text and simple illustrations are perfect for little readers. This will definitely be a book that we read over and over!
I think this book is great for infants to be read by their parents because they are exploring parts of their face. This is very important for young children to learn because it is the start of understanding functions of the body and the names for their facial features! The language used in this book will also foster sounds and words that babies and young children will use for the rest of their lives, and familiarize themselves with common words in the English language.
With mirrors on every page and instructions on what to do (make a silly face! Puff out your cheeks!), this book is cute but geared for a child slightly older then my 11 month old. That being said, she enjoyed seeing her reflection, and the mirrors are just large enough that she could see my face too, and would giggle at the funny faces I was making.
the very first book I read to my foster son, read again tonight. he continues to be more interested in fighting the cartoon animals than in looking at his reflection
This is a book to help teach children the parts of the face. It has a different animal on each page doing an action like sticking out their tongue or scrunching their nose. The child observes the action and then sees if they can mimic it by using the mirror that is in the book. This book can be used in the classroom to assist in learning about different parts of the body. It could be used in either a body parts thematic unit, or an animal thematic unit. I really liked this book because it allows children to see themselves doing actions and it helps get them involved in the story.
Cute board book with cartoon animals and mirrors on each page so the baby can look at himself and make faces. I was holding a baby, reading it to him, and the book made him cry. Oh well, nice idea...
This is my nephew's book that I read to Natalie while visiting. It was cute, but she didn't seem interested in the mirror and was to young to do the actions described. I liked how there were multiple mirrors and the simple illustrations.
My son got this as a gift for his first birthday, it wasn't until he turned 2yo that he actually took an interest in it. He loves to have it read to him and then read it to himself several times afterwards.
My child received this book in the hospital after he was born and we read it everyday. At just a few month's old, his face lights up as soon as I start to read it to him. He loves it! Would definitely recommend it for young children of all ages, especially those under the age of one.
