Why raising readers Has Selected This Book
Babies love to look at other babies' faces, especially at this age. The book committee has included other books by Margaret Miller in the raising readers collection to great success. The committee especially loves that the babies' faces in this book are almost life-sized.
Questions
In addition to great baby faces, this book is a great introduction to color. Not only is the page a solid color, but the baby pictured is wearing something of that same color. As you are reading, you can point out these colors to your young reader. You might also point to the different colors that your own young reader is wearing. Of course, your young reader will not know their colors yet, but you saying them aloud and pointing to them helps their growing mind start to make connections.
