- Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2020We love this book so much, we bought a second copy when the first was lost. The kids love seeing babies from all over the world, and hearing the names of the countries. The older children’s curiosity is piqued, and we end up looking up the countries, their geographies, and other information. This small book is a great way to open up kids to the wide world and it’s diverse people. I hope that a portion of the proceeds actually goes toward helping people in need.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2021The global baby books are my son’s (9 mo old now) favorite books! After buying this one, I got the bedtime and the playtime books in their line as well. He loves looking at the different beautiful babies and the text is simple enough to keep his attention even when he is getting sleepy. He flips through these books independently often and they are holding up well to my teething baby.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2025I have gifted this book many times at baby showers. I have heard back about how much the babies have loved the book. For one child, it was the book that could always stop her from crying! Beautiful phots
- Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2012I bought this book for my daughter after visiting her daycare, and seeing one of the teachers read the related American Babies (A Global Fund for Children Book) (Global Fund for Children Books) book. I decided to go with Global Babies just to spice things up a bit in the costume department. Anyhow, what amazed me was how fascinated all of the daycare babies (ages 9 months - 1 year) were with the photos. 4 of these very young children crawled over and planted themselves on top of the teacher just staring intensely at the friendly faces. It's so rare for the children to demonstrate such focus, particularly all at the same time. There's something about the friendly baby faces in this book that they find fascinating. For the record, my daughter seems especially taken with the Greenland baby in his/her furry hood, the Indian baby with her big eyes and bright shirt, and the big-eyed Rwandan baby. The American baby seems to be her least favorite! I think her preferences have something to do with how big and bright their eyes look in the pictures.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2024this was a favorite book of my great nephew.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2024The book itself isn't very long. I was hoping that the pictures of the babies would be bigger, possibly the full page. That said, my 11 month old loves looking at the different babies in the books and enjoys pointing at all the pictures. I'm glad I bought it for her.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2024My one year old son is obsessed with this book. He picks this book every night before bed to read together. The photographs are bright, colorful, interesting, and beautiful. Definitely a hit in our family!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2024Babies love to look at other baby faces. I have several books like this, but this was the 1st to include a wide range of differences with babies looks and even how their dressed. You can almost see the "wow" inside my grandchild's head. It is almost like "Where are they? Can we play?" I like this book!

ThalitaReviewed in Brazil on October 6, 2021
5.0 out of 5 stars Produção belíssima
Livro belíssimo! Material de primeira qualidade! Fotos encantadoras e que retratam, dentro do espaço e proposta da obra, a diversidade humana com imagens fofas e coloridas das/os pequenas/os. Tem fotografia de dois bebês dos EUA mas um é um menino branco, o outra uma menina com traços orientais, penso que tentou expressar a diversidade do território. Recomendo!
- Ellen C SchaafReviewed in the United Kingdom on June 29, 2024
5.0 out of 5 stars Such a good book for babies!
Our son absolutely loves this book. He's suddenly obsessed with this book and keeps wanting to read this book over and over! He loves the pictures of other babies.
He's also in a biting phase, and the book is not the strongest of board books, which means we may have to purchase another copy!
