Baby-Toddler–A holiday addition to the “Baby Faces” board book series, this sweet and simple lift-the-flap book engages babies in a game of peekaboo. Four classic seasonal characters: a snowman, an elf, Santa, and a reindeer, appear through a repetitive pattern, which can be sung: “Little snowman, Little snowman, where are you? Here I am! Here I am! Where are you?” The simple design, bold colors, and ample negative space will help little eyes to focus on the cheery characters they see. The four character flaps all fold downward, adding an element of predictability for young readers. Mirrors are hidden behind each flap to show babies their own faces, an age-appropriate ­addition for helping to develop self-­recognition. The final spread asks, “Little baby, Little baby, where are you?” and the gatefold spread reveals a ­final mirror showing babies their own faces one more time, “There you are! There you are!”
VERDICT A gently playful addition for collections needing fresh holiday cheer for babies.
