Rating: Summary: Every baby should have a copy of this book Review: As a retired Children's Librarian who used this boook with many children, I can attest to the fact that it is a winner. Each page has a photograph of darling babies in various poses. The last page has a mirror and the baby can see himself or herself. This is the perfect gift for the new baby and parents. Children enjoy the photos, in black and white which are age appropriate, and the short text. Read and enjoy.
Rating: Summary: Not the best picture book of babies Review: I purchased this book because my 10 month old likes books featuring pictures of babies. However, this one fails to keep her attention. She likes, "Baby Faces," by Dorling Kindersley Publishing much better. The cover of this book looked appealing (you do not get to preview an excerpt with this book). I found that the pictures do not match the text as well as in other books. The baby in, "baby good," is not engaged in any activity and looks bored and a little sad. The baby in, "baby bad," has apparently discovered a bag of flour and has a wonderful smile. If I were a baby, I know which I'd rather be. The baby in, "baby laugh," looks scary. The mirror at the end of the book is distorted, so even that "picture" does not seem right. I am removing this book from her collection.
Rating: Summary: my 2 month old loves this book Review: This book thrills my two month old. We go from cover to cover over and over again before he tires of looking at the pictures. He clearly enjoys it more than any other board book we have shown him. I also like the multi-cultural aspect of the book and the variety of expressions on the babies' faces. As the coordinator for a home visiting program for families with new babies, I am ordering copies to give as a gift to our parents.
