Zoom, Zoom, Baby!: A Karen Katz Lift-the-Flap Book (Karen Katz Lift-the-Flap Books)

Our 2 year old LOVES this board book. The story line is simple enough that after reading it twice, he could flip through the book on his own and tell the story by himself. He loves the flaps and thinks it is hilarious that there are things hiding behind them. He's been a bit of a late talker, but we've really watched his vocabulary improve as he's begun to try to "read" books to himself out loud...and this book started it all. We highly recommend it for young children. The book itself is sturdy enough to handle a two year old...our only complaint would be that the flaps themselves are rather thin and probably won't hold up too well, but that is to be expected with a lift-the-flap book. We've definitely already got our moneys worth, and we've only had it a couple of weeks. Buy this book!

This is a rather short and simple book, but my baby still loves it at 18 months old. He'll probably (I hope) grow out of it in the next few months, but it's a fun book for the youngest readers. It's not super stimulating or educational, but is still a fun little read. And it's interactive thanks to the flaps. The flaps are not nearly as sturdy as some of his other lift-the-flap books, but for a $5 book I won't complain much.

This is my baby's favorite book. We had another Karen Katz book "Daddy Hugs." I noticed he was more attentive and engaged with "Daddy Hugs," more than other books. With other books, his eyes would wander and he'd get easily distracted. I think he was attracted to the vibrant colors and patterns in "Daddy Hugs."So I decided to order two more Karen Katz books. "Zoom, Zoom, Baby!" gets the most reaction from him because of the flaps. I am considering ordering more "lift-the-flap" books for him.I highly recommend Karen Katz. Other books, like the popular classic "Goodnight Moon" are not as colorful. In fact, "Goodnight Moon" has many pages that are in dull grayscale.. these are the pages that my baby has absolutely no interest in and will start looking away from the book. There's even one page with NO illustrations that reads "goodbye nobody." Seriously?? You're better off with books like Karen Katz's.

My barely 3 year old son loves these books. They are interactive and fun to read. He loves lifting the flaps and playing along to find baby. I started with "Where is Baby's Belly Button" and my son loved it so much, I bought this one to go along with his love of trains and cars. The illustrations aren't the cutest in my opinion, but I like how much my son likes these books!

My baby and I love the Karen Katz books ( I've purchased the Spanish versions of "Where is Baby's Belly button" and "Peek-a-baby" as I am hoping for her to be bilingual). Decided to purchase this books for as a birthday gift for a two year old. As soon as I received it, I immediately wanted to keep it for my baby! I didn't, but I am hoping that Karen Katz develops more Spanish books. Some of the reviews do mention that there is a repetition of being too babyish. Some of the words can get a bit babyish, but as a parent/grandparent etc., we should have the ability to improvise and adjust as we see fit. Not all children are the same, and I cannot comment on older children but as I've mentioned, my 7 month old LOVES these books.

The only reason I'm giving it 4 starts is because the flaps are kind of flimsy. My grandson LOVES this book! So he wants me to read it over and over, and he also tries to read it himself over and over- so 16mo old fingers are flapping it up, which should be expected with a board book. Other than that I have to say it is great, simple, age appropriate story that has my grandson literally jumping for joy when we read it! 1st choice in book reads at Grandma's house every time!

A big hit with our 14 month granddaughter. She carried it around all Christmas Day! There are durable pages and flaps inside that allow for more interactive play.

All of the lift the flip books from this author are my daughter’s favorite and have been since she was about 5 months old. She is now turning 1 and we read 2 of these books every night. Love them (Although this particular one is one we must read every night, it is her absolute favorite)
