5.0 out of 5 stars New Gramma, finds the perfect Baby Book for daughters., April 12, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Baby Love: A Keepsake Book from the Heart of the Home (Hardcover)

What a wonderful find, I as well as my daughters were looking for something different and unique, not the usual Baby Book, with cartoons etc. This is a beautiful book with wonderful soft watercolor pictures. There are so many catagories to document your little ones progress...more like a special journal. Lots of places to place those special pictures you will be taking. Lots of pages to record the special holidays to come, as well as cute little nursery rhymes and suggestions of things you can do with your baby. You can start from day one of your pregnacy recording things you and your babies father are experiencing. Within an hour of my daughter receiving this book she was busy recording things into it and reading it to her husband. I truly felt as I had finally found the perfect baby book for my daughters to record our grandchildren's growth progress. I hope you will enjoy this book as much as we have already. I will recommend this book to any new mother that is looking for something different, unique and not the ordinary.

5.0 out of 5 stars a warm, touching way to remember your child's "baby days", October 21, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Baby Love: A Keepsake Book from the Heart of the Home (Hardcover)

This is the most wonderful baby book you will ever find ANYWHERE!! I received it as a gift from my mom when my third child was born, and my only regret is that I didn't have copies for the first two!! Susan Branch's book is filled with page after page of breathtaking illustrations and sweet sentiments that perfectly capture the magic of life with a baby. She also provides wonderful space to record thoughts on 'pre-baby" preparations. I always look forward to sitting down with this book, whether I am adding my latest thoughts or reading previously written ones! Don't let babyhood get by you without buying this book!! Makes a fabulous baby gift!

This is a very pretty book, and probably has the most categories to fill in of any baby book I perused (which, for busy professionals, can be a bit daunting ...) There were two things that made me decide to send it back and to keep, instead, the book produced by the Boston Museum of Fine Arts (A Baby Book for You). (Reasons that are peculiar to me, I might add, and not a reflection on the quality of the book.) First, the book is small in size. In my mind's eye, a baby book should be larger. Second, the watercolor illustrations are so faint that it frankly is hard to see them. An additional minus, in my view, is that the author's name is on the cover of the book. (This is true of the book by Linda Spivey, as well.) To me, a baby book's cover should not take "credit" away from the true authors of the book: parents and child.
