My First Body Board Book (My 1st Board Books)

This isn't the first time I've written a glowing recommendation of this line of board books in general. This series is sturdy and durably constructed, and is reliably vivid, contrasting, colorful, and captivating, with easy-to-turn (yet hard to destroy) pages. However, in addition to my general recommendation, this book specifically is highly recommended as well, by virtue of the particular subject matter it teaches.With an infant/toddler, your pediatrician is going to want to know if your child can identify body parts. This is one of the traditional milestones that providers check for, beginning as early as nine months, and definitely by eighteen months. If you're a new parent, you likely stress out about these developmental checkpoints. First of all, don't. Second of all, get this book to help your child excel at one of the areas tested. Learning about transportation vehicles and farm animals is great, but learning about body parts is tested (as are, at a later point, colors, some animals, letters, etc. So with this book, you get a double win: the quality and fun of a My First board book, coupled with the utility of an important milestone aid.

This is a great book for young toddlers (or even babies). It's very well designed and packs a lot, but without feeling too busy. I got it when my daughter was 12 months old, and she loved looking at all the babies. Around 14 months she became obsessed with babies, and would enjoy any image of a baby - in books, on the packet of diapers, on the wet wipes, in a magazine, just anywhere she saw babies! So she also became obsessed with this book, and has been since then (she's 17 months old now). She flips through it or brings it to me every day. I don't think it's too busy at all, at least not for her. She loves finding all the babies and looking at what they're doing. It's great how the book also shows actions, not just body parts or objects, and it has a lot of daily activities, like playing with different toys, sleeping, eating, sitting on a chair, clapping hands, etc. She loves imitating what the babies are doing, or their facial expressions, and naming the toys they're playing with (and showing me which ones she has, too). All in all, this is one of the best executed books for this age that I've seen, and it has been tremendously successful with my daughter.

My toddler really likes this book! She enjoys books that feature real pictures of babies and toddlers. I thought it might be a good way to introduce the names of different body parts. She is very engaged in each page. The book contained a few (pleasant) surprises. It doesn't only diagram body parts, it shows pictures of different emotions, different activities (reading, playing, eating, etc), the 5 senses, winter and summer clothes, and the last few pages are about counting.

This has been a fun and helpful book for my little one. At first I thought that it was pointing to so many different body parts that it would be overwhelming but it has proven to be better than I had expected. At first you see the body and different body parts being described, but then it moves to faces, and different actions. It has been fun teaching my little one and seeing how she does later. It's a solid board book, with lots of colors. I would recommend this book if you are looking for new ways to teach your child the different parts of their body.

I have a 16 month old son who loves books. I'm trying to encourage the love of books at an early age and got this book for him at around 9 months old. He wasn't interested at the time and that was fine. One day around a month ago he picked this book up and was fascinated. It not only has the parts of the body, but it also has toddlers around his age making faces and doing things. It has many pages compared to other purely "baby faces" books and it also has clothing and sensory identification like smell, touch, taste, etc. We often build stories around the babies expressions page, and he especially loves the peek a boo part. I highly recommend this book and so does my son.

I bought this book for my 6 month old baby and found that my 2 year old loves it so much so I would recommend for all young ages. The baby likes seeing the baby faces and pictures and the 2 year old likes to learn about his body. He likes to see the babies too, and this book spurs a lot of great questions that teach him about his body. The colors are vibrant and these type board books are durable. I highly recommend this book.

i don't love this book - a bit too busy for my 1 year old. example. there's a face and a bunch of lines pointing to it like on the cover. i think it'd be better if there were a page of just eyes, just noses, just mouths, etc....

Great book. Colorful pictures. Simple images and terms (not complicated pictures with crazy-long medical terms for body parts obviously). I like that all of the images in the book are photographs of real things. Studies have shown that the realer the image is, the better-abled the infants/toddlers are at recognizing them and knowing their counterparts in their own everyday lives. It's also thick enough that even a lot of baby drool on it shouldn't make a difference. Haha

The little ones love the baby pictures. There is a lot of information. It's a book you can keep going back to for a couple of years. Soooo boring if you're wanting to read a story, but awesome learning tool.

Ich kaufte dieses Buch für meinen Sohn , um ihm die menschlichen Körperteilen zu lernen. Es ist ein sehr gutes Buch in Bezug auf Qualität und Inhalt. Mein Sohn mag es, aber er bevorzugt andere Bücher mit Autos. Ich glaube, wenn er älter ist, wird er es mehr mögen . Wenn Sie es verwenden, um Ihren Sohn einige grundlegende Wörter und Phrasen zu lehren, wäre dies ein ausgezeichnetes Buch. Der einzige Grund, warum ich nur 4 Sterne gebe, ist das mir die Kreativität fehlt.

I gifted this book to my friend's 1 yr old daughter and she totally loves it. It has very bright colorful pictures, thick pages which wont be torn. Thank you Amazon

I bought this book when he was 11month old. Now he's 16 months old and is increasingly fond of this book. He's leafing through it, pointing at babies in different postures and poses and is imitating them.It's so cute! Great book to teach the child names of the body parts and different things infants can do with their newly discovered body!

Love the book with real pictures and toddler friendly size. But the used book was not in good condition unfortunately like they advertised.
