About This Book

'Kiss my little Baby Cakes On the nose. Smooch my little Baby Cakes On the toes.' This reassuringly repetitive text features a sing-song baby game for parent and child, with irresistible illustrations of babies playing with their soft toys.

Our Review

This gentle rhyming board book transforms the simple, loving ritual of kissing a baby's body parts into a sweet, interactive reading experience. With its predictable, sing-song text and cozy illustrations of babies and their stuffed animals, it creates a perfect read-aloud moment for lap time. The repetitive structure and familiar game of naming body parts make this an excellent choice for building early language patterns and reinforcing baby's sense of self. Parents will find the soothing rhythm ideal for calming fussy moments or creating bedtime connections.

What sets this book apart is how naturally it invites physical interaction, turning reading time into a playful bonding activity where caregivers can act out the gentle kisses described. The warm, soft-focus illustrations of diverse babies and their beloved toys mirror real infant experiences, making the content immediately recognizable to very young children. This title particularly shines for parents seeking meaningful ways to combine early literacy with affectionate touch, leaving both reader and listener feeling cherished and connected long after the final page.
