First up is a newer book, On the farm. It features five animals (ducklings, sheep, horse, cow, and piglet) and each one has a touch and feel feature (faux fur or the like). It is a petite book, great for the diaper bag, and aside from him liking to pull out the ducks' fur it is a really great little book with some catchy rhymes.
Next up, his peekaboo books. (sigh) He loves his peekaboo books, by DK, and so do I. The flaps are made of thick cardboard, so they don't get ruined like other flap books so often do. At our house he has Farm, Bathtime, and Baby Says Peekaboo, and at my mom's house he has Dress Up instead of Baby Says. They also have a touch and feel feature on every page, though I think the ones in the Farm book are the best. Though they are tough to find (try Amazon.com first before traipsing to all of the bookstores in your town), they are worth the effort!
Third, we have a book he got this past Christmas from his Uncle Gil and Aunt Sarah: Mirror Me, by Baby Einstein. It is a wonderful little book full of baby-safe mirrors for him to peer into. He oohs a lot at this book and loves it when I puff air into his face when we get to the page with Baby MacDonald! This one is much easier to find and has me interested in the other baby books by Baby Einstein ... any recommendations?
Finally, we have his Baby Faces book. I don't know what it is about babies looking at other babies, but he just loves seeing all of the different kids in this book! The first page, happy, is probably his favorite and is what he is looking at in the picture below. It always elicits a little smile. Even if you can't find this particular book, I think it's nice to have a baby faces book of some sort around to help demonstrate emotions. You could even make one out of family photos! Hm ... project idea?
There you are! My son's favorite interactive books as of late. All of them would make great gifts for new babies or toddlers in your life! Hope you enjoy them as much as we have!
