Book Description

April 1999
In the mid-1980s, Judith Levy created a sensation with the publication of Grandmother Remembers, a book that has been reprinted 48 times and sold almost 2 million copies. There was nothing like it when it was first published, and it started a trend in keepsake, fill-in format books that continues unabated today.

History may repeat itself with the publication of Levy's latest book, My Baby & Me. Here is the first baby book designed specifically for today's single parent. From Rosie O'Donnell to Madonna and Jodie Foster, many people today are opting for single parenthood, and this book is geared to their special needs.

Here is a beautifully illustrated volume that is focused on today's nontraditional families. Fill-in sections of the book go from birth through age five and include spaces for all birthdays, special holidays, and trips, as well as average days in the lives of the parent and child. Suitable for single moms or single dads, this book, once filled in and pasted up with photographs and mementos, will become a treasured family heirloom to pass along to future generations.

5.0 out of 5 stars At long last, January 17, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: My Baby & Me: A Single Parent's Journal for the First Five Years (Hardcover)
From the first moment I opened this book, tears came--because here at long last was the book for MY family--my son and I. It felt like my unique situation was just as valuable as "normal" families--no "missing" information where the father should be, no trying to fit a round peg into a square hole. And then as I read further, even the little poems on each page made me cry (and I don't think it was from the hormones!) because they were so perfectly appropriate to our situation. Although it's missing some charts common to baby books like height and weight, it more than makes up for this with its strengths. The design is good, illustrations sweet, very useful, very wonderful. Buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is perfect for one parent families!, August 28, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: My Baby & Me: A Single Parent's Journal for the First Five Years (Hardcover)
Our family is made up of just mom & baby. So run of the mill baby books just don't work. There are too many pages you can't fill out and who wants those pages left blank? I felt so fortunate when someone suggested this book to me. The beginning of the book has space for the parent to tell about his or her life and then it goes into the baby's story. I like the way it tells the story of parent and child better than a standard baby book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just the Right Baby Book, April 3, 2003
This review is from: My Baby & Me: A Single Parent's Journal for the First Five Years (Hardcover)
In this day and age I had expected to find more 'single parent' baby books! But, this is the only one I saw for my son, 3 years ago... Not a Problem, as this book is perfect! So good in fact, I am here to buy another one for my daughter (on the way). I didn't even try to find any others this time... This book has all the same stuff as a 'traditional' baby book - just in a single parent format so you're not forced to leave lots of blanks! Cute illustrations and very nice wording - appropriate for a boy or girl. I'm very happy to have 'found' it again!
