Cuddly Baby: Snuggletime

Our baby girl loves this book! We read it every night before bed, and when she seems me reach for it, she gets excited. She has learned where every spot is on each page to "feel" and has learned how to turn the page. It's hard, but not to hard that if she chews on it, she will hurt herself. I would highly recommend this book!!

Note: this review covers all three in the Snuggletime series. The review also was written for librarians. 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 lapsit classes, not put out for general circulation, but they'll hold up well either way.
