From Publishers Weekly
A lift-the-flap format invites toddlers to join in a game of hide-and-seek in Where Is Baby's Mommy? by Karen Katz. A child clad in red overalls leads a search for Mommy behind a green closet door and under a checked tablecloth in the kitchen before discovering her under a blanket in the bedroom.

Another favorite by Karen Katz
I started reading this to my daughter when she was about 7 months. Listening her language and reasoning develop with each passing month is just incredible. She went from knowing when to say "no" and "yes" (after revealing Mommy's hiding spots) to knowing where Mommy is hiding, and naming all the things that Baby encounters along the way. I had to buy a second one because the first one was used and chewed and the flaps were all torn off. (You could say she ate it up.) She's now 21 months and still loving this story.

LOVE IT!
My 13 month old son LOVES this book! He loves to shake his head no when I ask "is mommy in the closet", "is mommy behind the plant".... - it is the only one he wants to read these days! He has a basket full of books next to the glider in his room and if I pick up a different book he will keep looking down at the basket shaking his head. We have two copies of this book, one we keep in his room and one in the diaper bag, it is a sure fire way to keep him happy if he ever starts to fuss when we are out. Great book!

My daughter started crawling because of this book!
My 7 month old daughter loves this book so much that the first time ever she started crawling was to come sit near me while I read it to her! She always laughs and giggles whenever I take this book out and she comes over to sit next to me. Other books, don't hold her attention and she wanders off after a few pages! I definitely recommend it!
