2009 Award
(Manhattan Toy $18 Score:
) A fabric book with a cottony ball sitting in a wagon that is attached with a ribbon. You can put the ball into, behind, through, and under the many spots provided in this little book. Baby will have fun finding the ball in all the hiding places. Good for peek-a-boo discoveries as you turn the colorful fabric pages. This is safe enough for baby to explore after you have 'read' from front to back.

2009 Award
(by Anne Gutman and Georg Hallensleben, Chronicle $19.99 Score:
) A cute set of board books about babies and their parents. Each book shows animal pairs and ends with baby and Mommy or Daddy. Not much story here, but the art is charming and the concepts are warm and fuzzy. The box is designed so that you can put photos of the little one’s parents on each side of the box…a little extra touch. 1 & up.

2009 Awards
(Emma Dodd, Silver Dolphin Books $12.95 Score:
) Share this big cardboard book with baby while you are both sitting or stretched out on the floor. It’s a wonderful collection of baby photos that will bring smiles of recognition to your own baby. Each two page spread features a few words that describe the action with a big photograph on the facing page to match. Try making some of these faces yourself as you read the words and look at the photos together. This ends with a mirror so baby can see your favorite little face!

2009 Award
(by Rena D. Grossman, Star Bright Books $6.95 Score:
) Babies all over the world are carried about. Told in simple verse this catalogs with handsome color photos parents and babies being carried in blankets, baskets, and backpacks, among others. A glossary shows the countries and photos from the book. Though the geography is well beyond the intended audience this is a beautiful multicultural book that is printed on sturdy cardboard stock that little children can enjoy independently once you have shared it with them. Babies do love looking at other babies and these are exceptionally colorful photographs and lovely to look at!

1994 Awards
(by Eric Hill, Putnam $11.95 Score:
) Spot the pup is missing! Where can he be? Lift the flaps and see! This is the original title in the granddaddy series of lift the flap books. There are dozens of variations with Spot searching for friends, hats, books, you-name-it. They work best when the objects are familiar and easy for young children to identify. Not much story in these little books, but the suspense is toddler-sized. These are well done small mysteries with just the right size and suspense for young page turners. Be prepared: Little hands may not be able to lift without a rip. The boardbook versions may be a sturdier choice, but some are hard for little fingers,too. Read befroe you buy. This is a well loved but uneven series-some are much better than others.
Age: Toddlers, Preschool. Award Year: 1994.
1994 Awards
(by Ann Jonas, Greenwillow $6.95 Score:
) Toddlers sometimes need assurance that they are growing up and able to do things that babies can't do. An especially good choice for dealing with the arrival of a baby when kids often have ambivalence about growing up.
2-4 Age: Toddlers. Award Year: 1994.
