This review is from: Bibs and Boots (Board book)

Bibs and Boots was part of one of the first book sets I received as a new mom. My oldest loved being read to...any book, any time, anywhere. She's nearly 21 now but still remembers these books fondly. My second and youngest did not have much time for laps or quiet but still would consent to listen to any of these books. I remember that each page had a baby bottle somewhere on it so it was kind of like "I Spy". I thought then (and still do) that these books were a breath of fresh air. Fun to read, interesting pictures for the toddler's curious brain, quick to read after a bath and before bed...and quick to memorize so you can read them in the dark to a baby with an ear infection. Love them...and will probably purchase new sets for my grandbabies.

This review is from: Bibs and Boots (Viking Kestrel picture books) (Board book)

ISBN 0670819883 - The cute little pastel framed image on the cover gave me the impression that here was a book I was going to dislike, all girly and frilly and so not my style. I am glad to advise you: don't let the cover fool you!

A handful of pages, each with text telling what to wear for what event - boots for paddling in puddles, best dress to go to a party, etc. - and images that are much better than I expected. For example, on the first page, three kids sit at a table - and one of them has thrown food at another. In the tub, a child shoots a squirt gun at a cat. Typical, if less than stellar, child-behavior, good for a laugh - and even a good chance to talk about things your child shouldn't do!

Lester's one author whose board books I'd go out of my way to find. Worth every cent!

This review is from: Bibs and Boots (Little Ark Book) (Board book)

Australian children's author Alison Lester did a series of four books (available overseas as a boxed set) that depict very real little kids in very real situations. Great drawings in the margins too that my son has loved identifying.
