A cute presentation for a typical part of the body baby book with some difficulties.  The text has a rhyming quality that is sure to entertain little ones and their preschool siblings.  It might have been nice however if the introduction was in the book rather than on the book jacket.    While the illustrations are cute and silly young children will be unable to identify some body parts as it is confusing.   Although not a board book this is intended for young children and would be improved with some white space.  The background pastel colors blend in with the babies and animals distracting attention.

Not a necessary purchase  for public libraries or day care centers.   Families who own the previous family titles by this author will want This is Baby.
