Baby Talk: Flip a Face

I gave a set of these as Baby Shower gift because I wanted something the older sister(4 years) could "read" to the new baby. Everyone loved them

I bought this, the first time, in the St Louis Art Museum gift shop when my granddaughter was born. It is now my standard gift to all babies. Faces are the first images children react to. At 3 my granddaughter still likes to 'read' it.

When I received the book, I wasn't too sure that my sixteen month old grandson would like it. There were beautiful baby flip-a-faces, but only one word for each page. To my surprise,he was delighted. He immediately mastered the baby's facial expressions and the word that was associated with each expression. Now, he makes me read it with over and over so we can together make the baby expressions, and say the words. He especially loves the last page when the baby is sleeping, and we both put our fingers to our lips and say, "Shhhh"

This is a sturdy book and my daughters favorite. The expressions change on every page and are cut out of the cardboard. This gives her many places to grab on and turn the page. It's also great to late her turn pages and act out the expressions. Lots of fun for children 6 months and older who are fascinated with faces. Well made book with very cute graphics. I'm tempted to buy one for every child I know.
