Where Is Baby's Belly Button?

Customer Reviews

Perfect for your baby's first library!

Both of my children (now 18 months and 3) learned many body parts from this book, which encourages children to lift the flaps and search for babies' hands (under the bubbles!), toes, and even belly buttons. The illustrations are colorful and simple, which is very engaging for a 12-18 month old. I also love the focus on learning spatial relations (behind, under, etc.), and the great fine-motor skill practice that comes from lifting these oversized flaps. The flaps are as sturdy as most, but they will eventually separate from the book, o keep your wide scotch tape handy!

My daughter's favorite book!

I purchased this book as I was setting up my daughter's nursery library before she was born. I was immediately attracted to the simplicity of the text, strong construction, and big, brightly colored, eye-catching illustrations. I began reading it to my daughter at age 4 months. She is now 10 months old and absolutely loves this book! When she sees me take it out of her closet her eyes light up and she literally squeals with delight. We read it at least 5 times each night. She now is able to lift the flaps on the book and anticipates the ending question, "Where is baby?". I am just about to purchase the entire collection of books written and illustrated by Karen Katz for my daughter's 1 year birthday. She is a brilliant author and illustrator. This book is a must have for any baby/child.

Keep book out of baby's reach

My 16 mo old daughter has loved this book since she was 12 mo., but I have to keep it out of her reach . She loves to lift the flaps but has now been tearing the flaps off when she reads the book on her own. She is only allowed to read it in my lap where I can stop her from ripping the flap off.
