My 20 month old son Miles and I have been reading ABC Baby Me since last week. We've generally moved beyond board books, but he was so interested in every detail. He picks out something new each time we read it. Above, he thought the kitty-cat was sleeping. Usually he wants to 'shut the (music) box'. Each time, we debate whether the baby's hat is going ON or OFF on the Mommy Me page - we always have our disputes!
He's actually able to recite most of the book, but 'Oops... I need a bib' was one of the first phrases he repeated from the book. Clearly, he can relate. And it's funny. Ali makes the book sweet AND funny - a winning combo.
One of the things I like most about this book is that all members of a baby's family have been included. Daddies, grandmas and grandpas, sisters and brothers. I like seeing the same baby in 2 scenes also. You get a lovely variety of different babies, but you see each one through two activities. It's such an easy book to read and Ali's little details make it fun to read over and over.
So I thank you Ali, for making this lovely book that has already made sweet memories for me and my little boy.
Awe!!! LOVE THIS, Gina!
I know Rozzie.. this is too precious! Thank you again so much GGina! And hug Miles for me, pleasseeee.
(I was going to say to pinch those cheeks of him for me but then I remembered how hard they used to pinch mine when I was little and I hated it, LOL :o)
What a sweet review! Looks like Miles totally loves it (he is adorable)! I am ordering my girls a copy soon! Beautiful work, Alicia! p.s. I enjoyed your behind-the-scenes post yesterday, too!
How cute is that!! Great review Miles and Gina!
Thanks Nina! You are so sweet ordering a copy, thank you for that! xo
I know Deb, this review warms my heart. I've been visiting a gazillon times today just to see sweet Miles reading the book. :o)
