Babies Laugh at Everything: A Press-the-page Sound Book with Mirror Dr Caspar Addyman 9781035003969

"Babies who laugh more, learn more." Dr. Caspar Addyman.

Babies Laugh at Everything is scientifically developed to help babies and their carers bond through reading and laughter. Written by Dr. Caspar Addyman, a leading expert in what makes babies laugh, this book is packed with noises that are scientifically shown to be funny for babies, from WOOF to ATCHOO!

Babies can refine their motor skills by pressing the on-the-page sound buttons, and the mirror ending is perfect for stimulating baby senses. You could even try propping up the book for tummy time.

With bright and engaging illustrations by Ania Simeone, this joyful book is brimming with relatable scenes of family life in every shape and size - from funny mummies and happy daddies to silly siblings and giggly grannies! - and the bouncy rhyme is full of repetition to help with early language acquisition.

The fun doesn't stop here! Babies can also giggle along with Babies Laugh at Peekaboo!

Dr. Caspar Addyman is a developmental psychologist and the former director of the Goldsmiths InfantLab. He is interested in how babies adapt to the world and how we support their learning. Over the course of his career, he has investigated early concept learning, the foundations of language, time perception and sleep, and of course, the importance of laughter and positive emotion in early life - research that culminated in Caspar's joyful and informative book, The Laughing Baby. Not only does Caspar write about babies, but he also writes for babies with his fabulous Babies Laugh books.
