Take a trip around the world by following nine babies through their daily routines. Under speech-language pathologist Claire Davis’s sure hand, dressing, mealtime, playtime, bath time, and more become opportunities for babies to learn new words and phrases.

Each illustrated spread also includes photographs of babies and everyday objects drawn into the art—creating a search-and-find on every page to allow more time for parents and babies to connect.
