These 97 games, sight gags, playful tricks, and practical jokes require no special talent, use just the simplest household items as props, and actually work. Babies will be entertained - and adult readers will rediscover the joy of surrendering to sheer silliness. Get baby giggling with the Exaggerated Sneeze "ah-ah-ah-ah-CHOO"! The Live Jack-in-the-Box (Dad goes in large cardboard box, family sings, "Pop Goes the Weasel", and Dad jumps out at the last line), and oldies-but-goodies including Baby's Stinky Feet. It's the joy of letting loose and laughing with your baby.

Beyond Peek-A-Boo. Nothing pleases new parents more than Baby's first laugh, and here to keep the chortles coming is a collection of infant-tested sight gags, skits, parlor tricks and practical jokes. Try THE LIVE JACK-IN-THE-BOX. THE "SCAMOOCH." BABY'S STINKY FEET. Or THE DISAPPEARING NOODLE (for best results use cappellini al dente). They're a little nutty, require no training and few props (Baby's hat, bubble gum, a polka CD), and are guaranteed to work--on one condition. Grown-ups can't hold back. Which means not only will you be tickling Baby's funny bone, but your own as well.
