A combination of textures and flaps are featured to encourage fine motor skills and a sense of exploration. In addition, this book has lively, rhythmic, read-aloud text to enhance the reader-baby bond. This combination of text, images, and novelty elements delivers a stimulating and exciting reading experience for parents and their babies.Editorials

This is a 11 1/2" square, "Amazing Baby" book with a bewildering number of unconnected components. The front cover alone will give a clue to the complexity of its overall design. It is divided into four square backgrounds of different colors; a black, a white and green, a purple in two shades and purple with white dots. Across this background the title appears in pink and white, a blue space ship is followed by a sparkling pink trail, a cut-out heart and star are filled with magenta backgrounds of two different textures, a round enclosure containing small plastic balls sits inside a clear plastic bubble and, in the middle, a brown bear face appears with one ear filled with fluff. The words trace, touch, shake, rough and smooth are also printed about the cover. As an added treat, a cloth label such as might appear in the neckline of a T-shirt, is sticking out of the front edge of the cover. The four inside double-page spreads are all of similar design with 20 or more blocks of background colors and a confusing array of directions and pictures that just do not come together in a sensible or consistent way. The book is simply too big and too confusing for a baby. 2003, Silver Dolphin, Ages 1 to 2.—Eleanor Heldrich
