It is no great secret that babies are fascinated by each other. In person they are drawn to other small people, babbling and giggling away. Books are no different. Most babies go through a phase where they want nothing more than to stare into the faces of other babies. And I say, let them have what they want.
My absolute favorite in this category are the adorable Global Babies books. Stick with Global Babies and Global Baby Bedtimes rather than their Boys/Girls offerings. There’s no reason for gender specific ones especially when they are reinforcing binary gender.
My Face Book introduces some mood vocabulary: silly, serious, laughing, frowning. But the best thing about My Face Book is that it is available in a range of languages – including the English text but also providing a second language. I can’t vouch for how well translated they are, but it’s nice to even have a Burmese or Somali option.
There’s not a lot you can do to improve on the natural cuteness of babies, but I have to say, combining them with doggies is a pretty fantastic move. The Babies and Doggies Book features (unsurprisingly) babies and doggies doing the same things. My dog obsessed little one woof-woofed his way through this many a time and it still brings him joy.
Final Pick: Global Baby Bedtimes – Global babies books are a must own for any household as far as I’m concerned and I couldn’t resist the sweet sleeping babies.
