Guess the Baby
After Sam's baby brother visits Mr. Judd's class, all the children bring their baby pictures to school and have a good time guessing which is whose. But there's still one picture left over. . . . It's Mr. Judd! Now the children can imagine their teacher as a baby (complete with mustache).

Play the "Guess the Baby" Game!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
In a twist on the many wacky things kids bring to "show and tell" at school, Sam brings his baby brother in this charming tale. This prompts amusing lessons that help the students understand and empathize with their younger siblings, including the surprising "discovery" that they were all babies once. Being a "big kid" starts looking particularly good when compared babyhood. But, the fun really gets going when the class plays the "Guess the Baby" game - a game in which the reader can play along. Each student brings a photograph of him or herself as a baby. The teacher collects and displays the baby pictures and the students try to match them to proper "big kid." With childlike, naïve acrylic gouche and colored pencil illustrations, Rawlins adds warmth and spirit to the story. She also provides some of the most important visual clues to assist the reader playing the "Guess the Baby" photo game - i.e., the class is multi-cultural and some of the children have special traits and features. Highly recommended for ages 3 to 8.
