4.0 out of 5 stars Babies/Toddlers Respond Sweetly to These Books, January 13, 2007

By	A. Miller "busy mom" (Seoul, R.O.K.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Both of my girls started loving these books (My Mom, My Dad) as early as 10 months and asked for them by name. They love the pictures of real people and the simple words. They seem to engender sweet feelings in them toward Mom and Dad as we read them. My youngest is almost 2 and she still asks for theses books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Our 14-month old loves this book!, September 3, 2000

By	"ch7" (South San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews

Our toddler loves this book and we read it multiple times each day. The photos show a multicultural array of fathers and children doing a variety of different activities. It's a board book, written for a very young audience; I'm not claiming it's Shakespeare! But it and it's companion, "My Mom", make a nice addition to a baby's library.
