Get ready for squeals of delight as you hold these books up to your face and transform into a roaring lion or a goofy farm animal. It breaks the "fourth wall" of reading, turning a passive activity into a hilarious, interactive game that captures their attention instantly. You'll find yourself making silly noises and changing your voice just to see that wide-eyed reaction. Beyond the giggles, this supports early social development. By around 8 to 12 months, babies are fascinated by faces and start understanding that you're still there behind the mask—a key step in learning object permanence and emotional connection.

Perfect for families who want to make reading active, noisy, and full of connection.

New Parents: Wanting to bond and get those first real belly laughs from their baby (8m+).
The "Wriggler": Toddlers (1-2 years) who usually won't sit still for normal books but love a game.
Grandparents: Looking for a fail-safe way to entertain the grandkids without needing screens or batteries.

A New Twist on Peek-a-Boo

You know that moment when you cover your face and your baby waits in anticipation for the "Boo!"? These books take that classic game and dial up the fun. The set includes three beloved themes: Farm Faces, Zoo Faces, and Good Night Faces. Instead of just your hands, they see a friendly lion, a cheeky monkey, or a farmyard friend looking back at them. It's an invitation to make silly noises, change your voice, and watch their eyes widen in wonder. The photo-real animal faces are bright and engaging, helping little ones learn to recognise different expressions and creatures.

Building Connection Through Play

Sometimes it's hard to keep a wriggly toddler focused on a story. The genius here is the interactive mask format. It grabs their attention because *you* are the story. As they grow, they'll want to hold the handles themselves, peering through the eye holes to surprise you. This role-reversal is a massive developmental leap, showing they understand how to initiate play and share a joke.

Designed for Little Hands

Standard paper pages don't stand a chance against enthusiastic babies. These are crafted from thick, durable board books with smooth edges, specifically designed to withstand gripping, chewing, and dropping. The cut-out handles are perfectly sized for little fists to grab, giving them a sense of control and independence during reading time. They are compact enough to toss in the nappy bag for entertainment at a cafe or in the car.
