5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful baby book, perfect for busy moms with little time to journal, December 8, 2005

This review is from: Baby's Memory Book & Picture Frame (Paperback)

I'm on baby #4 and like many moms, I haven't gotten around to completely filling out my second and third baby books yet. So I was looking for something that was both classically beautiful (not cartoonish or too sweet) and SHORT. The Met baby book fills those needs. This baby book only covers the first year. The book is about 16 pages and the cover doubles as a frame (you slip the picture in from the side). It's worth hunting down a "bargain" or "used" copy (without writing in it, of course). Art inside includes Cassat, Van Gogh, ukiyo-e (Japanese art) and other well-known artists' depictions of babies, children and parents. If you don't like some of the paintings featured, just paste your own photographs on top of them!

This review is from: Baby's Memory Book & Picture Frame (Paperback)

As an artist I was looking for something with substance, not that babyish stuff we are surrounded with. After all, my child will eventually grow up, but he or she will have a tasteful memory book that is part him/her and part of me. The artwork depicted is absolutely beautiful. And, as the previous reviewer noted, it's short. (I'm an artist, not a writer.) Well worth the hunt for a unique and artful gift for my baby.
