Author: Guest My 5 month old daughter and I LOVE this book. I started reading this as a bedtime book to her at around 3 months. It is the only book she will lie in my arms still and listen contently. I read it in a low, whispery voice. At the end we just sit in the nursery rocker and just stare at each other, both smiling. I get teary everytime. It will also be a good "name the animal" book when she gets older.
Author: Guest My son is 15 months old and adores this book. He gets it read to him every night and when he spends the night at Grandma's house we have to take it. He loves pointing at the animals and trying to say what they are (he can say horse but the others he has a little trouble). When my husband reads it to him he just changes it from mommy to daddy and the book still reads wonderfully. I would recommend this book to any new parents and in fact just bought it as a baby shower gift for my sister. Great book.
Author: Guest This book is one of my son's favorites at bed time. He loves the pictures and likes it when I substitute other members of the family for "mommy" ("Said the daddy horse to his Alex..." or "...Now sleep little Al, while the stars shine above, Grandma loves you as much as a Grandma can love...". I ask him "Who is it tonight?" and he will name a family member (most often it is still mommy). Such a sweet book.
Author: Guest this book was one of the most beautiful gifts I ever received. My daughter is now 2 1/2 years old and I still have a hard time making it to the end of the book without crying!
She loves the book as well - the illustrations are just beautiful, and the message is as timeless as a mother's love. I treasure this book, and have ordered several more as gifts to other friends I've made that have battled infertility and finally won.
Author: Guest This is a wonderful book. I picked it up shortly after the birth of our first child. He is now 2 1/2 and this is easily one of his favorite books as well as mine. The pictures are simple and colorful. The range of animals is great. We call the geese in the book ducks at our house, as the one word is easy to change. It practically a nursery ryme. My son loves to point out and tell me wich animal we are looking at. I now always include this book as part of a baby shower gift.
