Understanding baby-talk becomes a fun game in this adorable and funny picture book for families.

When baby says "bah!" the rest of the family scrambles to bring him balls and books and bows and bottles, sheep and baby dolls and blankets and even a brother! But it turns out that all along, the baby was just trying to say "bye-bye."

A perect gift for baby showers, new parents, and new siblings.

Praise for BAH! Said the Baby:

"A nifty romp that doubles as a guessing game (with some phonics tied in), this has appeal for large read-aloud crowds as well as siblings who seek a lighter new-baby tale."--Kirkus Reviews

"Simple colorful backgrounds accentuate Plecas’s bright and playful illustrations; her cartoon style is humorous and expressive....Parents and children with younger siblings are sure to relate to the pitfalls and joys of communicating with pre-verbal babies."--School Library Journal

"Add this charmer to the lineup for a baby-themed storytime, or share it with the older sibs of an almost-verbal little one."--BCCB
