I bought four copies on a recommendation to give as gifts to new mothers, with one copy to our local library. The reception was so good, I bought 12 more copies. It's a simple alphabetical idea for each page, with a beautiful accompanying soft pastel illustration. I didn't realize until later that it also rhymes! A very nice job by Susan Katz and Alicia Padrón. It not only shows the special connection between parent and baby, but the tiny and ever-expanding world around him or her....parents, grandparents, pets and others who are important to the family. I highly recommend this book.

Just bought my first copy of this wonderful book, and plan to buy more. It is a fabulous book to give as a gift to a new Mom or Grandparent. It's words and pictures are soft and soothing and the rhyme enjoyable to both reader and baby ... the kind of book to read to children over and over again.
I would definitely highly recommend this book to my friends with young children and grandchildren.

Loved the beautiful illustrations that complemented the wonderful ABC rhyming words that provide a superb gift for a mother or grandparent to share with a special child. This book is a very sweet reading children will truly love. I highly recommend this special book.

This colorful boardbook is wonderful way to start the little ones with the love of books. I gave it as a gift and the mother was thrilled to have such a great book to read to her young baby. The book is made of heavy cardboard so that the child can turn the pages without tearing them.ABC, Baby Me!

The perfect gift for my friends -- Big Sister Miriam can read ABC, Baby Me! to newborn Eleanor, helping establish a warm, caring relationship between new siblings! With all the gifts coming into the house intended solely for the new baby, Miriam was excited to receive something meant for her, too. Thank you, Susan Katz and Alicia Padrón!

My son is almost 16 months and we are working on learning the ABC's, so this book is great because it makes it fun for child and parent which is especially important when you read it 20 times a day! It is easy for him to turn the pages himself as we go through and there is enough detail in the pictures to keep him pointing at things as we go.

Recently I had the opportunity to connect with author Susan B. Katz about her latest board book, ABC, Baby Me! (Random House/Robin Corey Books). Susan is a national board certified teacher, specializing in bilingual teaching and educational consulting in literacy, classroom management and strategies for English language learners. She launched her new book earlier this month. For the review, please visit [...]

"Babies are the focal point of Katz and Padrón's tour of the alphabet. "Adore me/ Bathe me/ Cuddle me, too/ Diaper me/ Encourage me/ Fix my boo-boo," read the understated rhymes, while Padrón contributes soft and cozy paintings of babies interacting with parents, siblings, pets, and other relatives. The tone is serene throughout, and the final pages--"You don't hear a peep?/ Zzzz, I'm fast asleep"-- help make this book solid bedtime reading. Up to age 3." (Sept.)
