As soft, warm, and cuddly as they are, babies are strange
creatures. They emerge into the world with cone-shaped heads,
half-closed eyes, and wrinkled, peeling skin. Some even have
acne. As
they grow, they continue to make funny noises, find specs of dust in

That by Jennifer Margulis is a witty and informative book that
not only
explains many key baby behaviors, it also inspires readers to play
peek-a-boo, cuddle, bounce, and enjoy everything unique about babies
