The Baby's Word Book

Flappy, Waggy, Wiggly

Simple questions lead the reader to guess what animal can be found when the page is turned.


Hello Lulu

Simple text and illustrations introduce Lulu and her family, Lulu’s pets, best friend, and new shoes.

Oh Baby! A Touch-and-Feel Book

Babies are pictured with tactile surprises–a furry teddy bear, a scratch-and-sniff flower patch, and a shiny mylar mirror–to stimulate developing senses.


Show me!

Show me your nose, is that where it grows? I’m gonna nuzzle that nose! Tom Tracy depicts a familiar game that is a favorite with babies and toddlers. Who can resist nuzzling noses tweaking cheeks and tickling tummies? Darcia Labrosse’s tender illustrations capture the simple fun of this gentle game with warmth and glee.
