Description
With expressive baby phrases and entertaining noises that are fun to read and stimulate talking, this book is tuned into a baby's developmental milestones.
Why raising readers Has Selected This Book
We always try to include a peek-a-boo book in the collection. Peek-a-boo books have been shown to stimulate brain development. As the flaps in this board books are lifted, there is a surprise picture and a close-up of the baby featured. That surprise and more intimate look at the baby's face is exciting to babies and makes them want to spend more time with the book.
Questions
You can reinforce what is happening on the page by asking your baby questions like "Is that baby eating? Is that baby laughing? Is that baby sleeping?"
Activities
You can build up the surprise and your baby's enjoyment of the book by pausing before opening the flap, drawing in your breath like you do before you yell, "Surprise!" and by hugging your baby. Those physical cues will build the excitement of uncovering the hidden picture.
