(Where Is Babys Belly Button?) By Katz, Karen (Author) Hardcover on 01-Sep-2000

We have a few lift the flap books but this is the only one that makes me daughter smile and laugh. I think she really likes the baby faces illustrations as opposed to the animals in the other lift the flap books that we own. She loves it so much that we can play peekaboo with the flaps over and over on the same page and still get a reaction out of her.

We got this book when baby was 9 month old and is now 12 months. This book has been read at least one time everyday since we got it! Baby always chooses this book to be read first. It has held up to the abuse so much better than expected, especially for a flap book!

Bought this is a gift and they loved it

Oh, how my baby loves this book! She squeals with delight as soon as I pick it up because she knows whats coming. I read Katzs Counting Kisses to her every night and we also have Daddy Hugs. The illustrations in those two are also engaging. But nothing delights her as much as the lift the flap aspect of this book. Its especially intriguing how she reads the last lift a flap. I point out the bear, ball, and wagon and I say but wheres baby, where could he be? Then I lift the flap to reveal the baby, my daughter squeals, claps and smiles big and then thoughtfully looks back over at the bear, ball and wagon and then back at the revealed baby. Its like she knows the entire scene has changed by the revealing of the baby. How can a parent not love a book that elicits such engaged thoughtful behavior? Id recommend it highly for babies from the peekaboo stage to the learning body parts stage.

Bright colors, easy for a young child to understand. Just wish it did not rip so easily.

My daughter loves this book

My baby loves this book but has torn out all the interactive panels. It is not a heavy board book designed for the age group it is written for. I took packing tape and tried to repair the damaged pages but this did not solve the problem. The illustrations are adorable and I am sure most babies will love them as mine does, but the design of the book should be rethought.

Wonderful book for a young toddler

We got this for my baby at around 6 months and she loved it then but constantly wanted to eat the flaps. This is not a board book so we didnt pull it out for her much until around 8 months when she stopped teething on the flaps. Even at about 8 months she was really good at lifting the flaps herself and now at 10 months she is starting to associate the body parts in the book with her body parts. We always touch her foot, hand, etc when we find that part in the book. The other day she lifted her own shirt to find her belly button which was cute but also shows us that she is learning. We used clear packaging tape to mend a tear from an excited baby lifting a flap too hard and it probably wouldnt be a bad idea to do that to all of the flaps to make this book last.

I bought this sweet book for my 1 1/2-year-old nephew. I thought he would like it, and it turned out he just loved it! Me, too. He loves the story and the adorable illustrations! Great book!!
