My Daughter Loves This Book,
By Melanie D Parker (Statesville, NC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Baby Gets the Zapper (Hardcover)
My 2 1/2 yr old loves this book. We had checked it out at the library and when I returned it she was still asking me for it so I had to buy it. She now takes the remote for the television and pretends she is zapping me. She will tell me what she has zapped me into which will be things like a dog or cat. She never gets tired of reading this book and every time I read it it's as if it is the first time I am reading it to her. I highly reccomend this book for anyone with a toddler that loves to read.

Gets into the minds of baby and of mommy (and daddy!),
By Aaron Silverman "DJ Kuul A" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Baby Gets the Zapper (Hardcover)
I saw this book when my son was about 5 months old and knew that it had to come home with me. He's been obsessed with phones and remotes since the day he was born (somehow, I think he's not the only baby like that).The pictures and words are big and clear, and the story is a hoot for everyone -- I think my son would have exactly the same adventures if he got his hands on a magic zapper, and the twist ending, where Mama "takes control," always makes my wife and I smile. Another nice thing about this book is that, although the baby is referred to as "she" on the back cover, the baby drawings inside are androgynous (without being weird) and always referred to as just "Baby," so you can use "he" or "she" as appropriate for your child.

Adventure Abounds When Baby Controls the Remote!,
By Aunt Kiki - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Baby Gets the Zapper (Hardcover)
Ever wonder what goes through the mind of a small child when they find a remote control and start pressing the buttons? Author/illustrator DeWan presents one possible answer in this fun-filled adventure presented from the viewpoint of an angelic red haired baby girl with curls. When she finds a remote control, a great little fantasy begins that is filled with ordinary objects becoming "magical" when she hits them with the "zapper." Colorful, cheerful, and amusing illustrations bring the story to life - from the initial "zap" of the TV, to the "zap" that brings the baby's toys to life, to the "zap" that enlarges a toy airplane into so that the baby can travel turn the moon to "zap" it into a giant chocolate chip cookie. The fantasy wraps up nicely with baby falling from her plane into the waiting arms of Mom, who eventually uses the "zapper" herself to put baby to bed. This unique story is sure to delight the youngest audience as well as those who read it to them. Recommended for ages 1 to 3
