Faces (Baby s Very First Book)
£0.80
a total hit! - my 3 month old granddaughter was captivated by this book from the second she saw it. I was doubtful when I first saw the book in the flesh that it would hold her attention for long. It is extremely short and very simplistic, but she was (and still is) mesmerized by it. She stares intently at the patterns and smiles back at the faces. The crunchy sounds she is rewarded with when trying to grab at the pictures or chew the pages are an added bonus. This looks like being a favourite for quite some time
my 3 month old likes this book a lot - My baby boy seems to really like this book and has been fascinated by it from 3 months old. It will actually stop him crying. He looks at it for much longer than the cot book of a similar design. Money well spent.
Not to all tastes - over-rated - I bought this for my eight week old son and to be quite frank he isn t really interested in it. I was pleased to read another reviewer with the same issue because the over-whelming response seems to be that this book is wonderful. If you have a content baby, it will be brilliant. If you have an alert baby (translation hardly sleeps, cries a lot, needs constant stimulation) then this is not the book for them. I am sure he will enjoy chewing it but the pages did not hold a lot of interest for him.
absolutely rubbish - I am a busy mother of a four month old baby but I must write to let people know that this book is not great for every baby. I bought it after reading all the raving reviews on this site and I really do not know what they are talking about. My munchkin took one look at the book and ignored it. I kept trying to stoke her interest (and still periodically try) but to zero avail. Anything else is more interesting than this book. What s more I met another mother who felt exactly the same. So there are more of us out there in silent solidarity!
Great book for young babies! - I ordered this book after reading recommendations on amazon and my baby seems to love it. He loves staring at the faces and the other patterns on the pages. The book crinkles so he loves to feel it and the velcro strap to attach it to cot/pram is a great feature. The book looks boring to parents but baby loves it! A great buy.
