This is a simple, yet beautiful book that any child (or parent) should have in their library. The illustrations are lovely and large for the youngerst readers. The story is sweet and anyone with a toddler will melt when reading this story to your little one. You will not be disappointed.

My 18-month-old absolutely loves this book, he chooses to read it every single night. He yells out BANANAS, when we get to Three Big Bananas, and he yells out DUCK when we get to Eight Fuzzy Ducks. My 3-year-old still loves to hear the book every night and will even read it to her baby brother if I am not around. This book is in our top 10!!!

one of my kids' babyhood classics. i have it memorized and will repeat it sometimes just for fun for them or to help them calm down or feel better. they especially love rubbing noses at the end (like the baby and mommy in the pictures). i love the pastel drawings too.

From the exuberant zebra dancing across the inside binding (and boy does he dance!) to the delightfully goofy illustrations, this book is charming.

The words are just the sort of snuggly stuff your baby will love.

Counting to ten with the sweet things in a babies life (one sweet smile, two adorable eyes, three big bananas etc etc what do you get? One beautiful baby) And one charming book.
Wonderful soft pastels and goofy counting to 10.

This book is very sweet and has beautiful pictures, but there's a few problems. I agree with the reviewer who mentioned that young babies should not eat strawberries, so the book reinforces an inappropriate idea. Also, I do not think the book works as a counting book, because in several of the illustrations, the items to be counted are in the middle fold of the book and you cannot see them clearly (at least in the edition I checked out from the library). A better book by this illustrator is "What Shall We Do With the Boo-Hoo Baby?".

I didn't like this book because of two illustrations.. 1. The very young baby is holding a bottle (I would prefer to see him nursing), and 2. He is being fed strawberries. (Babies that young are not supposed to have strawberries due to allergies.) Sure, your toddler doesn't know that, but chances are some adults don't bother with research and this just reinforces the wrong behavior.
