Smile, Baby!

The perfect baby present and self-purchase for just the right moment in a baby and parent's life.
Introducing
Beginning Baby, a new line of novelty board books and gifts from the
Chronicle Children's group. Based on over 30 years of distinctive,
innovative, bestselling, and award-winning children's publishing,
Beginning Baby is the ultimate series for new parents and their
children. We've taken our experience as creative professionals, moms,
dads, aunts, uncles, siblings, and friends to create a line of books and
gifts that we would want to share with the little ones in our lives.
Every Beginning Baby book, toy, or game features simple icons to denote
which developmental milestones it supports, along with the intended age
range. With its distinctive yet accessible art, lovable characters, and
educational concepts, Beginning Baby is designed to make growing and
learning as easy as playing and dreaming¿and will become the must-have
gift or self-purchase for every baby's first library. Because a strong
beginning sets the groundwork for a bright start!
Smile, Baby!'s playful text introduces babies to their faces and asks them to find their nose, ears, and eyes in the embedded mirror.
