5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Board Book Ever!, March 10, 2000

By 

Heidi Cole (East Lansing, Michigan) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Maybe My Baby (Harper Growing Tree) (Board book)

No one is a better critic of a children's book, than a child himself. And my son rates "Maybe My Baby" on the top of his all time favorites. From age 1 to almost 3 (even after he had already outgrown the books maturity), we read this book together time and time again. Well, really, my son read it to me! He loved it so much that he memorized it word for word. What more can I say...the book is charming, engaging, and underneath it all there is a message of unconditional love from a parent to a child. It is definitely an important first book and I would recommend it to all.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a wonderful book!, April 2, 1999

This review is from: Maybe My Baby (Harper Growing Tree) (Board book)

I've been reading a lot to my 9 month old, but nothing has captured his attention like Maybe, My Baby. Not only does he coo and giggle while I read to him, but he keeps himself quite occupied looking at the photographs without me. What more could a mother ask for!

5.0 out of 5 stars My daughter loved this even at 7 months!, March 2, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Maybe My Baby (Harper Growing Tree) (Board book)

I bought this book when my daughter was 7 months old and she loved it from the start. She is now almost 10 months. The pictures are BIG, and one baby to a page, so it's easy for her to pay attention. And I really think she has a crush on one of them (the cement mixer!). She always laughs when she sees him. I took it with me to the photographer and it's the only thing that got her to smile for them camera. Young babies are drawn to other babies and faces and this book is perfect for them!
