Global Babies

One of my toddler’s favorite books! Babies and toddlers love looking at pictures of other babies, and this book does so in a way that celebrates babies from many different cultures. I also love how short the sentences are because it actually keeps my toddler’s attention. She can sit through the whole book without wiggling! This would be an excellent gift for a baby shower, and I think it is a must have for every baby’s book collection.

I bought this book for my daughter after visiting her daycare, and seeing one of the teachers read the related American Babies (A Global Fund for Children Book) (Global Fund for Children Books) book. I decided to go with Global Babies just to spice things up a bit in the costume department. Anyhow, what amazed me was how fascinated all of the daycare babies (ages 9 months - 1 year) were with the photos. 4 of these very young children crawled over and planted themselves on top of the teacher just staring intensely at the friendly faces. It's so rare for the children to demonstrate such focus, particularly all at the same time. There's something about the friendly baby faces in this book that they find fascinating. For the record, my daughter seems especially taken with the Greenland baby in his/her furry hood, the Indian baby with her big eyes and bright shirt, and the big-eyed Rwandan baby. The American baby seems to be her least favorite! I think her preferences have something to do with how big and bright their eyes look in the pictures.

Bought my fiorst one at a Fair Trade shop in DC. loved it and wanted to give it to another baby som ordered it from Amazon. A wonderful baby present and so mych nicer than a card that would just be thrown away. Photos are wondeful.

I read an article that said at a certain point babies wanna see other babies. So I bought this book. Babies do in fact want to see other babies. My son loved this. He kept requesting to read it by saying “baby, baby, baby!!”

My one year old son is obsessed with this book. He picks this book every night before bed to read together. The photographs are bright, colorful, interesting, and beautiful. Definitely a hit in our family!

I love the diversity that this brings into our home. Our daughter may never see babies from all these beautiful countries and now she gets a little glimpse of how big and diverse the world is. Oh, and she loves looking at other baby’s faces.

I know that babies like to look at other babies, but this book is mesmerizing to my one-year-old. Ever since he was about six months old he has loved to flip through this book. There are hardly ANY words, but the photos are close-ups of children from around the world and he LOVES looking at their eyes and smiles. Oftentimes, he even picks this one up himself and "pretends" to read it. A great find for any parent - and a great shower gift too! Gender neutral!

Love this book! Super simple with absolutely beautiful pictures of babies from around the world. My 5 month old is obsessed with staring at the faces in the book, this is a book we grab off the shelf over and over!

Great pictures about babies. Like they say there is 2 photos (as i can remember) for usa babies. Wish they put different nationality

El favorito de mi bebé de 5 meses desde el principio. Se queda mirando y se emociona mucho viendo las caras de los bebés.

This is a favourite book to gift to a new baby. I get positive feedback about how much the babies ( when a little older) love this book. Babies love faces and so they love this book. It is very well made and photographs are beautiful

I show this book every morning to my 7month old baby to introduce her to different babies in the world... and she really enjoys it... we greet them good morning every day... and sometimes she wants to kiss them good morning 😃 too...

Our two-year-old granddaughter can't get enough of this one. Such sweet babies.
