5.0 out of 5 stars Completely complete and absolutely delightful, October 5, 2001

I am an avid record-keeper and Cicely May Barker enthusiast, so I have had my eye on this baby book for quite some time. I waited on pins and needles to find out the gender of our expected child, and ordered this book for her the very day we learned she's a girl. The book arrived today, and is every bit as beautiful as I hoped, if not more. It covers every topic I want to record, including our anticipation of her arrival, her birth, family, health, first-year "firsts" and special events. I was pleased with the amount of space provided for pictures, thoughts, and memorabilia (it even has a pocket on the back cover!), and delighted with the tidbits of plant and fairy "lore" sprinkled throughout the pages. I was also surprised to find the book would have worked equally well had the baby been a boy; it seems like a lot of efforts were made to keep the book non-gender-specific, as well as completely adorable. I would recommend it to any expectant family without hesitation.

I'm not even sure if it's a boy or a girl yet, but I went ahead and ordered it anyway. It is a GREAT baby book. I had the classic Pooh one and the Anne Geddes one with my son, and they were OK, but some of the things they had for you to fill out were kind of out of date. For example, first picture, do you use the one where they are all bloody, or the one the hospital takes? Yuck! This book has space for a first prenatal photo! Much better! First time I saw baby on ultrasound! Great idea! AND it's gorgeous. Even if it's a boy I'm going to use it. If it's a girl, even better because I can go ahead with my plans to decorate her room with fairies : )

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Balance of illustrations and space to record events, May 27, 2005

By

This review is from: My Flower Fairies Baby Book (Hardcover)

I bought this for my second child and I was completely pleased. After searching all of the baby stores for a unique baby book, I discovered this one online. A risk to order something like this sight unseen, I have to say, this exceeded all expectations! There is a great balance of colorful illustrations and spaces to record meaningful events. I certainly found that with my first child's baby book, I ended up leaving lots of empty spaces due to being too tired and things happening too quickly. This book, on the other hand, has just enough space to record the big events (and some little ones) without making the parent a slave to notekeeping. There's inclusion of every detail that I wanted, even a tooth chart to record the dates of the arrival of teeth. The colors are wonderful--not punchy or overly bold or too baby pastel--they're quiet and pleasant. The book ties with a satin ribbon, something I didn't expect, but I like. I think that this suits a girl more than a boy, but I could see it being used for either gender. Just a great all-around baby book that I will have fun filling with memories...
