Baby Bistro! SIP CHEW YUM (Busy and Bright Baby) by Scarlett Wing

The verdict is in! Little fingers love Lift-the-Flap Books!

In Scarlett Wing's brand-new Sip, Chew, Yum: Lift-a-Flap Board Book (Busy & Bright Baby) (Cottage Door Press, 2018), baby goes through the day with emphasis on those eating occasions.

HAPPY AND HUNGRY!

On the very first page little ones get to lift a flap that shows Baby in his or her high chair with a bright "Good morning!"

Following flaps hide illustrations where Baby meets familiar foods--cut strawberries, blueberries, and orange slices for breakfast, with a hidden picture of Baby holding an orange. In turn Baby gets to discover Healthy Veggies (peas and carrots), things to Sip and Slurp (a sippy cup and bowl of alphabet soup, a bowl of spaghetti to slurp, and finally a broccoli floret, a tiny piece of cheese, and a YUM-some cookie to nibble under the final flap.

Bright primary colors add to the attraction of Amy Bray's simple illustrations, the minimal text introduces little eaters to the names of popular foods, and the savvy designers make sure that the flaps open in each direction, lifting up, pulling down, and opening from both left and right side of the flaps, subtly augmenting tactile skills of tots. A treat when Baby eats!
