Summary: A One-of-a-kind book for the Jewish baby
Review: If you're looking for a baby book for your Jewish child or that of someone you know, take a look at Welcome Baby. Unlike typical baby books this adorable, well-illustrated book is not frilly or sappy. It reads a bit like a "real" book featuring your child. The artwork and content are very appropriate for an observant family, as this contains spaces to record Hebrew as well as English birth date, and Brit Milah, Pidyon Ha-Ben, and Baby Naming information. You can also note where baby celebrated his or her first Passover and Chanukah, which is a nice touch.While not as dense as most volumes (which may work in its favor, since it fits easily on a normal bookshelf), this book covers all the bases for the first year. Additionally, there are places to paste photos, record the family tree, and update your baby's life story each year through age five. The last page even has spaces designated for graduation photos! I found the fact that this looks like a regular children's book to the naked eye very appealing, and think that my son will as well. I'm sure he will appreciate being able to read about himself when he gets older, and the artwork is colorful and charming for him to admire until that time. Welcome Baby will make a lovely, unusual gift for any Jewish child.
