Happy Healthy Baby Series
What can baby do today? Reach . . . and move, play, eat, cuddle, and rest. The books in the Happy Healthy Baby series include appealing black-and-white photographs of babies and whimsical full-color illustrations that capture the moments and moods of baby’s day. Little ones will love the photos of baby faces, and the rhythm and rhyme will hold baby’s attention. Giggle, wiggle, head to toe. Tap and clap and rock and roll! Busy babies grow healthy and strong as they move about, discovering the many things they can do!

As the books are shared with them, babies absorb concepts of love, safety, and confidence. At times lively, at times gentle, these sturdy-format baby board books reflect what every parent wants: a happy, healthy baby. Includes tips for parents and care providers. A perfect gift for baby showers, newborns, and birthdays.

In this addition to the Happy Healthy Baby series, Verdick and Lisovskis home in on an early developmental milestone—the use of hands to reach, grasp, and explore. B&w photos of babies smiling and reaching are paired with bright yellow pages with cartoon images of little ones smiling, crawling, and playing, as well as a simple verse: “Hungry baby wants some more./ Reaching is what hands are for!” Seven tips for adults offer useful suggestions for interacting with babies (“Your hands can be a ‘baby toy.’ Demonstrate waving, clapping, and reaching”) and encouraging motor skills. Simultaneously available: Eat. Up to age 2. — Publishers Weekly


“The photos are bright-eyed and buoyant . . . Both books provide easily digestible tips for parents and caregivers on healthy eating and ways to encourage reaching, grabbing, and interaction. This and its companion are pleasant additions to the Happy Healthy Baby series.”—Kirkus Reviews
