Playing peekaboo has been proven to be the best way to make a baby laugh. Babies Laugh at Peekaboo is scientifically developed to start babies' reading journey with lots of love and laughter. Written by Dr. Caspar Addyman, a leading expert in what makes babies laugh, this adorable book brings a game of peekaboo to life with grab-and-pull pages and a shiny mirror. Babies will giggle with glee as they open the pages to reveal smiling, giggling and laughing baby faces, beautifully illustrated by Ania Simeone. The shiny mirror at the back of the book is perfect for entertaining babies up to 18 months old - you could try propping the book up for tummy time. The fun doesn't stop here! Babies can also giggle along with Babies Laugh at Everything!
Dr. Caspar Addyman is a developmental psychologist and director of the Goldsmiths InfantLab. He is interested in how babies adapt to the world and how we support their learning. He has investigated early concept learning, the foundations of language, time perception and sleep. His most recent research has looked at the importance of laughter and positive emotion in early life, culminating in his book The Laughing Baby. Ania beautifully captures all the happy, curious and funny moments of everyday life. She works with traditional techniques, like coloured pencils and watercolours, as well as digital programs, carefully selecting colours to reflect the seasons and their light.
