Acquire Today Baby Sleeps (The Babys Catalogue) Originated By Janet Ahlberg Issued As Pamphlet

the popular "The Baby's Catalogue", these four board books feature activities and surroundings in a baby's world, With babies' and toddlers' keen interest in other babies and object identification, "The Baby's Catalogue" board books are the perfect beginning books for the very youngest readers.
In "Baby Sleeps", baby's daily activities are presented: baby wakes, drinks, thinks, bounces, and finally falls asleep, Full color. A baby wakes, plays, eats, cries, and then sleeps in this simple story about a young childs daily routine,

The pictures in this board book are reminiscent of other works by the Ahlbergs, including Hooray for Bread, Each Peach Pear Plum, and The Jolly Postman.
Each page portrays a baby taking part in the activity mentioned in the text, Though the style of the illustrations is cartoonish, the babies faces have realistic elements that will remind parents of the expressions made by their own babies.
The soft color palette suggests a soothing environment, and the peaceful final image makes it a good choice for bedtime,

This is a tiny book, but if you have a small story time group, or

if you can blow up the images to use as stick puppets or flannel pieces, it would be an ideal choice for baby story time.
The rhyming text is pleasing to little ears, and it includes a lot of great verbs, Its also a great one to share one on one because it provides prompts for caregivers to discuss a childs daily activities.
I read this one to Little Miss Muffet several times over the three weeks we had it out of the library and I found myself using some of the pages as jumping off points for reviewing what wed done in the day or previewing what wed do tomorrow.


This is the perfect suggestion for parents who arent sure what to read to their new babies, Toddlers with new siblings would also benefit from the fact that the book focuses on baby behavior without necessarily addressing the sibling rivalry issue which is something I know some parents want to avoid mentioning.
The edition of this book that I read seems to be out of print, but it is part of something called The Babys Catalogue which is in print and available from Amazon.
