Global Babies Board book – Picture Book, February 10, 2006

One of my toddler’s favorite books! Babies and toddlers love looking at pictures of other babies, and this book does so in a way that celebrates babies from many different cultures. I also love how short the sentences are because it actually keeps my toddler’s attention. She can sit through the whole book without wiggling! This would be an excellent gift for a baby shower, and I think it is a must have for every baby’s book collection.

I have gifted this book many times at baby showers. I have heard back about how much the babies have loved the book. For one child, it was the book that could always stop her from crying! Beautiful phots

I know that babies like to look at other babies, but this book is mesmerizing to my one-year-old. Ever since he was about six months old he has loved to flip through this book. There are hardly ANY words, but the photos are close-ups of children from around the world and he LOVES looking at their eyes and smiles. Oftentimes, he even picks this one up himself and "pretends" to read it. A great find for any parent - and a great shower gift too! Gender neutral!

My one year old son is obsessed with this book. He picks this book every night before bed to read together. The photographs are bright, colorful, interesting, and beautiful. Definitely a hit in our family!

After we received this as a baby shower gift 9 years ago we are still purchasing it for baby shower after baby shower. The pictures are endearing, the quality enduring lots of baby handling, and we consider it an investment in the global perspective of a young person.

The book itself isn't very long. I was hoping that the pictures of the babies would be bigger, possibly the full page. That said, my 11 month old loves looking at the different babies in the books and enjoys pointing at all the pictures. I'm glad I bought it for her.

When I put this book and a bunch of her favorite toys in front of her, she always grabs the book. This is the only book she keeps flipping back and forth through (with a little help). I think the fact that babies at that age are fascinated with faces, and that they cannot really relate yet to drawings in other books makes this a winner.I like the diversity to kids in the book, and even though it shows the babies in traditional clothing, it is not overly stereotypical. Extra points to have two babies from the US: one native american, one white.

We love to give this as a gift. The diversity and images are beautiful. My babies loved looking at other babies in books
