How are babies and doggies alike? This colorful board book has many answers, all expressed in verse and paired with photos from a variety of sources. The book begins and ends with the line, "Lots of things babies do, doggies do too." Clear color photos show babies on the left-hand pages and dogs on the right, both smiling, splashing, cuddling, sniffing flowers, and so on. Written in rhyming and near-rhyming couplets, the upbeat verses do a good job of pointing out similarities, but the crisp, colorful photos of babies (and sometimes toddlers) and their canine counterparts steal the show. From the cover photo on, they're adorable.

The Babies and Doggies Book is a visual feast for infants, a fun read-aloud for parents, and a treat for all who love babies and dogs.

When you stop and think about it, babies and doggies do many of the same things. They squirm, sniff, sit, and splash. They play ball and cuddle. Lots of things babies do, doggies do too!

This board book explores all of the similar actions shared by baby and baby's best friend. Illustrated with beautiful, full-color photographs featuring an array of dog breeds and a diverse cast of babies.
