Baby Faces (Look Baby! Books)

Summary: An Enduring Favorite
Review: I originally picked this up at a book store, flipped through it, and was about to put it down, when my five month old son laughed. I looked. He was laughing at the faces of the babies -- they delighted him -- so, I bought the book! Ten months, and at least that many new books later, this is still one of Jack's all-time favorites and a guaranteed source of giggles, even after all this time. (We read it at least two or three times a day, at Jack's insistance. )

This was the first book we saw Jack "reading" to himself -- turning pages and naming the expressions all by himself. It has contribute several new signs to his vocabulary and several words, too!

I highly recommend it! It's fun, it's beautiful, and as a bonus it also helps to start baby on the road to emotional intelligence! (People's facial expressions have meaning.)

Summary: Exciting Results
Review: I was amazed at how this book held my daughter's attention over any of her toys. She received this book at 8 months and by the time she was 11 months she had it memorized. All of Margaret Miller's books have made a tremendous impact on my daughter's speaking and reading ability. At 19 months, she is able to pick words out of books and is able to relay her feelings not only through facial expressions but also through words. If parents would take time to read these books to their children, and compare the faces and words in their every-day activity, they would be amazed at the way they begin to communicate.

Summary: Never fails to make my son laugh
Review: My 7 1/2 month old son just loves this book, and is always trying to touch the babies' faces. He also loves to play "peek-a-boo" with the book. Its short, sweet and simple. I highly recommend it as one of the first volumes in your child's library.

Summary: My daughter's favorite car-ride book
Review: My daughter LOVES this book for short car rides- half an hour or so. She doesn't go to daycare AND she's an only child so she doesn't see other babies except from the seat of a shopping cart when we run errands or in the park. So she LOVES this book and laughs and coos at the babies on the pages. My only complaint, and this is really small since she doesn't actually READ the book, she just looks at the babies faces, but some of the baby faces don't look like the describing words on the facing page. If you want this book to teach your baby describing words, this isn't the best one, but just for the pictures, it's very cute and entertaining for baby.

Summary: Disappointed
Review: This book doesn't offer very many cute faces. The color rendering is intended to be bright and saturated but is instead dull and the hues are inaccurately rendered. I bought this book because my 7 month old son likes all baby pictures he sees in magazines, etc., but this book doesn't interest him. Blah! Stay away from this one.

Summary: This Book Taught My Daughter her First Word!
Review: This is a sweet simple book with adorable pictures. Very young children will love seeing other babies. My daughter spent lots of time with it, and one day, at about ten months old, we saw her flipping the pages and saying "uh oh" (which one of the babies says). Ever after she would say "uh oh" whenever she saw this book. I doubt educational value was Ms. Miller's top priority when she wrote the book, but it has some after all!

Summary: This Book Taught My Daughter her First Word!
Review: This is our son's favorite book. He's 8 months old and
laughs every time he sees the faces in the book.
When we pick up the book he crawls right over to see
it. We highly recomend this book as well as Margaret
Miller's other books. They're a hit with our kids.
