Rating: Summary: What a sweet book and song! Review: I got this book before my daughter was born and sang the song to her in the womb. She now sings along babbling as I sing. It is a charming little book about ABC's and the beautiful blessing of children. It is sure to be a big hit for any new parent!
Rating: Summary: You can't go wrong with this book!!!!!!! Review: I happened about this book purely on accident and boy am I glad I did! This is such a cool book with beautifully illustrated children! It's also a good way to begin building a postive self esteem for your child!
I share my newest book finds with my mother and was so surprised to hear her father use to sing this to her! Our bed time ritual is a few shorts stories and then we sing / read this book! My daughter just loves when both her Nana and I sing to her together. Maybe someday, my daughter and I will sing this to her children!
Rating: Summary: Every child should be sung to from this book Review: I remember my mom singing "A, You're Adorable" to us when we were young. I even remember my dad singing it to us, though he'd never admit to it if you asked him today. Anyway, I was thrilled when I found that someone actually illustrated a book with the words to this sweet song! My daughter loves to hear me sing it to her, and the sound of it seems to calm her down. We often read/sing it right before bed as a lullaby. I would recommend this book to anyone... and if you don't know the tune, just make one up; your child will surely love it anyway. (My mom is tickled to know that I remember her warbling this song to us!)

Rating: Summary: Get this book! Review: If your baby has one board book, get him this one. I have "read" (sung) this book hundreds of times to my babies and I sing it and animate it in my own special way, stopping to kiss during the "K you're so kissable" and sharing a big hug at the end of the book. The babies want it over and over!!I have bought several copies of this book for shower gifts and it gives me an excuse to sing the song for moms-to-be!
Rating: Summary: a book that glows Review: It's not easy being a little kid sometimes, but this lovely and positive book is filled with nice things to say -- A you're adorable, B you're so beautiful .... Who wouldn't be cheered up?The illustrations are gentle but lively images of children playing around large letters. I am not familiar with the Kaye-Wise-Lippman song others have referred to, but the book is enjoyable anyway. Though I would rather have had a phrase for each letter of the alphabet rather than three strings (MNOP, QRST and WXYZ), I suppose that makes it fit the song. Particularly useful when your toddler or young reader is down in the dumps, this gentle reminder tells them that they are special and loved and important. If you know the tune, all the better!
Rating: Summary: Beautiful song, beautiful book Review: My 1.5-year-old daughter loves looking at the babies in this book, and she's starting to try to sing along. It's fun for both of us to read together, and we sing the song later in the car. I recommend the CD "Singin' in the Bathtub" by John Lithgow if you want a recording of "A... You're Adorable." It's a great album. (I also bought the Perry Como recording. Beautiful singing, but not my style.)
Rating: Summary: A special book for my daughter and her granddaddy Review: My 23-month-old absolutely adores this book. And so does her granddaddy. He remembers the song from when he was a child, and they sing through the book over and over again...she never gets tired of it, and though his voice may get hoarse after the 10th time, he loves it, too. It has been a very good bonding experience for them both.
Rating: Summary: Simply Beautiful Review: My father-in-law found this song to sing to his first granddaughter, and now my wife and I sing it to our daughter. When she found this lovely book a few days ago, we were thrilled! I expect we'll get a copy with a library binding someday. The illustrations are cute--but not too cute!--and the song is great. The book itself is well-made--with any luck, our daughter will sing out of it to her children someday (though I suspect she won't need it to remember the words). Let me explicate this gem, word by word, starting with...um, sorry, gotta go--Quincy is crying. I'd best go sing it to her.
Rating: Summary: You need to sing the song to appreciate it. Review: This has an accompanying song that is sweet and very fun to share with your little one. I wouldn't consider it a book for learning letters, so if you're looking to teach ABC's this isn't what you want. This is a book that ups the snuggle factor at bedtime and gives you a visual aid if you sing the song as well. If you're looking for a fun rendition of the song, you won't go wrong with the John Lithgow CD, 'Singin' in the Bathtub'. The whole CD is worth the money.
