T
he cover of this large and charming board book features a drooling, wide-eyed infant with a fascinated expression. Inside are many more babies from all over the world, letting readers know all the amazing things they can do.
I
t begins, '
I am a
baby
. / I am strong. / I can hold my head up. / I am a clever baby.
' This text is accompanied by a picture of a naked baby, annotated with labels from
head
to
toes
. Readers continue to learn what a
curious
baby does with her senses, how a
busy
baby spends his day, the faces an
expressive
baby makes, what
flexible
and
splashy
babies can do; and finally what a sleepy baby needs ('
Good-night kisses!
')
I
like the emphasis throughout that this is a
clever
baby, along with the final thought that '
It's very hard being a clever baby.
' Indeed it is, for infant and caregiver alike!
