Our family enjoys all of the Karen Katz books. This would be a great book for a child just learning the concepts of happy/sad/angry/silly, etc. It simply illustrates single-word emotions. There is no narrative. I bought this book online (not knowing the specific contents) after my toddler already knew the handful of emotion/concepts described, so as a learning tool, it had more limited use than expected. But it is good reinforcement for what he knows, and we still enjoy reading it together and my toddler likes to fiip the pages now and then. I would recommend this for a toddler/baby just learning emotions for the first time. After a toddler is already aware of labels for basic emotions, a narrative book on emotions would be a better fit.
My daughter loves this book. The flags are big enough that even 18 months she can flip them herself and they are relatively sturdy. One has torn off, but we were able to repair it, and I think that's somewhat expected when a toddler reads a lift-the-flap book!
I bought this for my daughter because she loves flap books and really enjoyed Where is Baby's Belly Button by this same author. Unfortunately the flaps are the size of the whole page on every page and that makes it difficult for her to lift them so she loses interest. The illustrations and layout were cute anyway.
We have lots of lift the flap books - my daughter who are 1 and 3 love them and we haven't had much trouble with our Usborne ones. This is a cute book but almost immediately the flaps detached from the pages and were bent. The design is not great. I had to use clear packing tape to reinforce every page. I won't be buying more of these books.
Great book, but this is my baby's LEAST favorite of our collection only because it is hard for her (and truthfully, for me as well) to lift the flaps because they are almost full page flaps that lift up the entire page. But the company tent is perfect for an 11-18 month old!
I have a great book for my son called Dear Zoo that is a lift the flap book. It's his absolute favorite and so I was looking for something similar. In this book, the flaps are the size of the entire page which makes them hard for little fingers to pick at – it's the equivalent of trying to turn a page from the bottom which is tough for fine motor skills. The story however is very cute and I've enjoyed reading it with him.
My children both love Karen Katz books! Lift and flap books are classics for little toddlers and this one is no exception. My daughter has learned her feelings and expressions from this book. Such a sweet read!
Karen Katz is an expert in creating appropriate books for babies and toddlers. I use ALL of her books in my Baby and Me program. This latest book, How Does Baby Feel, is wonderful. Excellent product and service.
