Baby Babbles Book Collection (Timberdoodle Review)

Interactive Pages

One of my favorite things about spring is the fact Timberdoodle releases their new catalog in May. And it is always full of fun and fabulous new finds. Like the sweet Baby Babbles Collection of board books I’m reviewing this week.

Baby Babbles Collection

Thankfully, I had a crew of the cutest little helpers one could hope for to assist me with my review: 17-month-old Evelyn, 3-year-old Nathan, and their Aunt Abby, who was babysitting them at the time.

Enjoying the Baby Babbles Collection

Both the children loved the bright colors and cheerful illustrations. Nathan listened attentively as Abby read to him, but Evelyn spent half of storytime flipping through the second book on her own.

Reading Aloud

I appreciated the fact that each book told a story. So, even though the the collection focuses on first words — such as book, bee, bird, baby in the Bb! book and cat, car, and coat in the Ck! book — those words are strung together by a simplified plot.

Baby Babbles Collection

But the biggest draw by far was the interactive elements of the books. Nathan’s favorite was the shiny mirror embedded in one of the pages. Can you see his silly face in the reflection?

A Mirror inside the Book

My favorite was the Busy Bee book-inside-the-book. It had four pages and told a story-within-a-story all its own!

Baby Babbles Collection

If you have kids (or grandkids!) in this age range, I imagine they’d enjoy the Baby Babbles Collection, too.

Reading Aloud

Our little Evelyn, who was the squirmiest during story time, stuck with the books the longest once Abby finished reading. She enjoyed having them all to herself and slid carts, opened doors, and lifted flaps to her heart’s content

Perfect for Littles

Evelyn especially loved playing peek-a-boo with the baby on the final page. She’d pull up the blanket with a sweet little giggle and wave hello, again and again.

Baby Babbles Collection

My only caution with this set is that a few of the flaps were slightly stuck on first reading. They could tear if not handled properly, so I’d recommend an adult go through the book and carefully open each door and crease each fold before handing it over to a baby or toddler. After that, the little ones should be able to easily do the activity on each page themselves.

Colorful Pages

Interested in getting your own copy of the Baby Babbles Collection? You can purchase it here as a two-book set. It is also included in Timberdoodles 2022 Tiny Tots Curriculum Kit. So check it out!

While you’re on the Timberdoodle website, I’d encourage you to take a look around. We love everything we’ve ever ordered from this small family-owned company!

    How sweet is that? I love how Evelyn played peek-a-boo with the baby in the book. Too cute!

I’m behind again… not on reading, but on posti I’m behind again… not on reading, but on posting the books as I finish them. My second read for the year was an audiobook by Robert and Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth called You Can Trust God to Write Your Story.  I found it both enjoyable and encouraging. The authors take turns reading the book, detailing the stories of biblical, historical, and modern day believers and sharing the journey God has taken each of them through for their good and His glory.  #flandersfamilyreads #godisgoodallthetime

Except the tree in our bedroom. I may just decide to keep that one up all year and switch out the ornaments to match the seasons: hearts for Valentine’s, birds, nests, and birdhouses for spring, stats and stripes for Independence Day — you get the idea.  Anybody else have a hard time clearing out all the decorations after Christmas is done and dusted?  #ochristmastree #ochristmastree #howfaithfulareyourbranches
