"A game changer!"Instagrammer @scarletts_world_

"Got this free from our health visitor via the BookTrust scheme and it is excellent. He loves it and we actually do tummy time now!"***** Sarah on BookTrust.org.uk

"We got this free from our library. My baby loves it. We had bought some expensive cards similar to this online. There was no need, he prefers this book, now I am on the hunt for another."***** Leah on BookTrust.org.uk

"This book is a wonderful tool for encouraging babies to engage in Tummy Time as it so perfectly gives baby somethinginterestingand motivating to observe whilst in this important and supervised position for play. Tummy Time not only prevents flat spots on the back of babys head, it supports the development of their spinal curves, and encourages them to use the muscles needed for later milestones such as rolling, sitting, crawling and even refined hand skills. Using this book is a greatopportunityto build strong attachments between parent/caregiver and baby; Ialways say the first thing babies love is a parent's face, the second is a book and this is just the ticket -it allows for that wonderful connection time together which builds babies' brains. The contrasting colours of thebookare ideal for younger babies, and really supports visual perceptual skills of older babies too. I love how the book even has a mirror, whichmeans that babies can explore their facialexpressions as they learnabouttheir bodies. I highlyrecommendthis book for parents tousewith theirlittleones, and will beaddingto theresourcesof my TummyTimePractitioners to use in their classes and workshops."
