Is Baby really ready for that first haircut? With the usual panache, Leslie Patricelli's one-haired wonder leads the way into another new experience.
It's important to take care of your hair, even if you only have one! As Baby can tell you, that hair gets washed when it's dirty and brushed when it looks messy. But when it grows and grows, there's only one thing to do. This funny and reassuring look at a toddler rite of passage
4) Yummy Yucky

5) Big Kid Bed
Who wouldn't want a big bed all their own?
Goodbye, crib. Hello, bed! Baby is happy to move on to the next phase of sleep furniture. There's so much to do on a big, soft bed — lie on it, play on it, bounce on it! At bedtime, Daddy tucks Baby in, Mommy says good night, and there's so much space, and the bed feels so . . . different. What now?

9) Tooth
Baby's big smile is about to get toothier.
Ouch. Baby's mouth feels funny. Something is happening, and it's not just that a puddle of drool keeps escaping. There it is — a new tooth! And where there's one, there are soon to be more.

12) No No Yes Yes
YES! This must-have toddler title sheds light on some concepts with a comical flair.
