When you stop and think about it, babies and doggies do many of the same things. They squirm, sniff, sit, and splash. They play ball and cuddle. Lots of things babies do, doggies do too! This board book explores all of the similar actions shared by baby and baby's best friend. Illustrated with beautiful, full-color photographs featuring an array of dog breeds and a diverse cast of babies, The Babies and Doggies Book is a visual feast for infants, a fun read-aloud for parents, and treat for baby- and dog-lovers.

Although a seemingly simple book - a professor friend of mine reported, " I read it in one sitting!", the psychological subtext is quite profound. This may not have been Mr. Schindel and Ms. Woodward's intentions when creating the book, but they were prescient and definitely onto something scientific. In a recent NY Times article published long after the book went to press, The Look of Love Is in the Dog’s Eyes (April 16, 2015), research shows the emission of the feel-good hormone, oxytocin in dogs (but not wolves!) when dogs look into human's eyes. They discovered a similar buzz and chemical release in humans bonding with dogs (not cats). The article goes on to compare this to the gaze of a baby, and the matching gaga effect (oxytocin) in a parent, pop pop, etc. Total Feel Goods for everyone! (I personally think it’s responsible for the beautiful, cloying obsession new grandfathers and grandmothers have for grandbabies).So, the brilliance of this little tome is that it presents both dog and baby here, thus giving double whammy to baby and Mom Mom /Pop Pop reading it, looking at the eyes of the babies and doggies, and then looking at each other..., every time they read it together. Triple whammie!The study in the Times concludes:“We don’t know what the dog’s gaze means. When you look at a human baby, it feels good. Maybe dogs gaze at you because it feels good. Maybe the dogs are hugging you with their eyes?”This little book gets reader and readee hugging each other, eyes and arms, bonding in a very subtle, scientifically-proven way. Bravo!!
The sweetest baby book ever! And the photos are spectacular. My 2-year old granddaughter and I can't get enough--she snuggles up on my lap and wants to read it with me over and over. A book for making memories.
Fantastic book! My 1 year old loves it and gets so excited when I read it. The book places high quality pictures of babies next to related pictures of dogs on the adjacent page. Both are doing a similar activity (eating, running, hiding, sitting, etc.). It's a cute concept and the photographs are adorable. Gives you that warm fuzzy feeling.
This was a delightful fun book for baby! The photography and graphics were very stimulating and eye catching!Cant wait for another book by these fine authors. This book comes highly recommended!
I bought this book for my one year old who loves dogs. It is the perfect length, not too long and not too short and he loves it! The photographs are beautiful, not too cutesey but definitely endearing. The text is terse and rhymes, ideal for my kiddo.
Great book, very cute pictures of the babies and dogs. My granddaughter just loves this book. One of the books she gets everytime she is at Nana's house.
My daughter just loves dogs and of course other babies. This is a really simple book with just a few words on each page. All of the illustrations are actual pictures of either dogs or babies. The pictures show the dogs and babies dong everyday things. I got this book kind of late for my daughter who was about 18 months old. She loves the pictures and now at 20 months we still read it and she likes to point out what the babies and dogs are doing. If you have a young dog lover you should get this book.
This book is great. My one year old who doesn't sit still for most board books, keeps bringing this one back to be read again. The photos of babies and doggies are great, and the simple story is perfect, leaving us room to talk more about the photos of we want, or quickly read through if that's the mood we are in. If you have a baby/toddler that loves looking at babies or doggies (as it seems many do at this age) buy this book. You won't be disappointed.
