97 Ways to Make a Baby Laugh

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.

Jack Moore is a writer and freelance advertising consultant to small businesses. After enough friends and relatives commented on his apparent gift for making his baby son laugh, he began to work on this book for other parents. He lives in New Jersey with his family.

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.
