Ernie Follows His Nose (Golden Books)

I cannot say enough good things about this book. The pace of the rhymes give it a very whimsical beat that babies love. The pictures are bright and colorful. Lots of parent/baby interaction can occur while reading the book because there are plenty of things to point at while reading. The book familiarizes or reinforces (depending on the stage of your baby)different sites and senses. I started reading my twins this book when they were 9 months and they are now 20 months and they still love it. As a parent, you won't tire of reading this book, either...because you will be reading it ALOT.BUY THIS BOOK! IT'S A WINNER!

Nice sharp colorful pictures. Lots to spend time on if you want -- plenty of things to talk about on each page. (Or you can rush through it and keep starting over if your child just likes the rhymes and the page-turning.) The text is all about noticing smells -- pie, laundry, outdoors.... A short book, and very sturdy.
