Where Is Baby's Belly Button? - An Audiobook Review
Karen Katz's beloved board book has finally found a new voice, and it's as charming as the original picture-book version. In this 25th-anniversary audiobook, the narrator brings to life the playful questions that have delighted toddlers for decades: "Where are baby's hands?" "Under the bubbles!" The gentle pacing and warm tone make every peekaboo moment feel like a shared secret between parent and child.
What sets this recording apart is its interactive spirit. Even though you can't lift physical flaps, the narrator pauses at key moments, inviting listeners to answer aloud or guess along. "Where are baby's eyes? Under her hat!" encourages participation and turns listening into an engaging game. The voice's friendly cadence mirrors the book's original die-cut flaps-soft, tactile, and endlessly delightful.
The sound design is minimalistic but effective: soft background music that doesn't overpower the narration, occasional gentle "pop" sounds to simulate a flap opening, and subtle ambient noises that evoke a nursery setting. These touches keep young listeners' attention without distracting from the story's core rhythm.
For parents looking for a bedtime companion or a fun way to reinforce body-part vocabulary, this audiobook delivers with ease. It captures the essence of the chunky board book-simple illustrations, easy-to-lift flaps, and playful curiosity-and translates it into an audible experience that feels just as tactile and interactive. If you're searching for a cozy, educational audio adventure that will make your little one giggle and learn at the same time, "Where Is Baby's Belly Button?" is a perfect pick.
