Every newborn needs a baby book, and since the only thing cute enough to share page space with your little one is a puppy—a tiny weimaraner to be exact—William Wegman has created The Baby Book. Complete with the requisite growth chart and daily journal, the pages also feature more than 40 photographs of Wegman's beloved brood.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Baby Book!, July 22, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Baby Book (Hardcover)

I just bought this book as a gift for my cousin who is pregnant. It is absolutely adorable. If you like animals or are familiar with Wegman's work, it is just precious. I think it is a perfect gift for anyone expecting. There are the traditional baby book things--foot prints, family tree, firsts, etc. accompanied by terrific pictures. I would really recommend this to anyone--and the cover is this wonderfully soft velvet that makes it all the more lovable!

This is the cutest baby book I've seen. I hate the cheesy ones you see in the store. Perfect size for what I wanted.

This review is from: Baby Book (Hardcover)

The best thing about this baby book are the ADORABLE photos of puppies in it. It also has pages for everything: family tree, lock of hair, growth chart, ultrasound photo, first birthday, etc. etc. I looked around for the perfect baby book and this one is it. I have bought 3 more copies since for friends who have had babies.
This is just the BEST baby book I've seen!
