i agree with the previous reviewer in that i like the straightforward and simple approach of this book. the questions are set up to read like a story for your child. I like how they kept it subtley unisex by alternating blue on one page followed by pink on the next and the peter rabbit and friend photos throughout are cuteand timeless. there are ample places for photos wihtout being over the top including - a picture of the family, a picture of mom & dad (pre-baby), a spot for a sonogram photo, a picture of baby's first home and nursery, a photo of baby when first born, a photo of baby first night at home, first b-day (there are some others in between but i don't recall). there is also a flat pocket in the back cover for holding keepsakes. there is not a lot of room in this pocket, but I am sure i will have some things to save in there including our birth announcement, shower invitations, cards from family etc.

some of the sections the books covers include: 2 pages - "when we found out you were coming, our thoughts on knowing you'll be arriving, our hopes for you in the future," a family tree, some details about mom & dad and grandparents including their birth dates, full names, and their "favorite things". there is a section devoted to prenatal visits and going for the sonogram, and then a couple pages on the baby's delivery day and what went on, there is a section on the first night at home and how baby slept, and later on some info about babys early routines. Later on there is room to record baby's Dr. visits and height and weight. There is more in between but the book wraps up with the baby's first year celebration and a photo. i think it all comes together to tell a very nice story of anticitpating the little one's arrival and then all babies accomplishments/milestones in the first year. it also highlights big milestones nicely without getting too detailed.

also the book is acid free and chlorine free - so it is of archival quality, and you won't need to worry about the pages yellowing over time. I think this book will be cherished by us and our baby for years to come!

This is a great, unisex baby memory book. Very cute and not the usual tackiness that I've come across. My only complaint is that it only goes to their first birthday. My other 2 children have books that go until they're 5. I like to record the additional milestones & getting/losing teeth, etc. I was a bit disappointed about this book. However, it was cute and I'll keep it. I'll just have to record differently when it comes time.

I just received this baby book this afternoon for my 3rd baby on the way in a few weeks, and I was surprised at the large format of the book. I decided that the bigger size was a good thing, as it has plenty of space for lots of little notes, etc. The sweetness of the layout & illustrations is heartwarming, and it actually got me a bit teary-eyed while flipping through the pages.

I knew that I needed to order a book soon, and didn't want to be a mom that 'forgets' to record important milestones for subsequent children, so I'm pleased to have this book in hand. I think that it's a great value for what you receive, and I like the expandable pocket in the back cover to hold 'extras' that need a place of their own. I think that you could improve this book by making it spiral bound, but I think with the large size of this book, having a traditional hard-cover spine will be just fine.

I think it would also make a very sweet baby shower gift. I don't think anyone would be disappointed with this book!

I just purchased this book at Barnes and Noble and I personally preferred it to the other baby books of a similar nature that I saw there. This one had a simple charm and I liked the set up and questions better than some of the others, though it depends on personal taste. It is an environmentally friendly book but I did not purchase it for that reason. I do like the look and feel of the paper and preferred it to some of the more brightly colored and somewhat visually distracting counterparts. The cover has that "recycled" texture and could probably get ruined more easily than a slick-coated book. It's very cute, and I would recommend it, particulary to anyone who likes things with a natural or simplistic appeal.

Baby books are the kind of thing you need to have in front of you to choose! This was cute, but it did not have all the pages I wanted (growth log, first words, etc.) and was a bit short for a baby book. The description said that the book had classic illustrations, but none of the pages really resembled the Potter originals. I sent it back!

I think I finally found a baby record book that is not too ridiculous. If you want a book that is elegant and sweet this book is for you. The font is pretty without being too cutesy and the images are baby themed without being over-the-top. I love it!

This is really cute. I wish they had one for after a year or one that went longer than twelve months. However the pictures are adorable there is plenty of room to write and even put pictures. It will be something to cherish for years to come!

I LOVE this baby book! It is well organized and just plain beautiful. Would be appropriate for a girl or a boy. The only thing I wish it had was a page for baby shower gifts, but other than that, it's perfect! Much nicer than many of the other baby books you see.

I was surprised at how difficult it was to find a baby book that included a foot prints page. This was one of the only reasonably priced books I found, and I'm glad I purchased it. Not only do I have a foot prints and hand prints page, but there's also a small pocket in the back which I use to store my daughter's ultrasound pictures, along with her hospital ID bracelet and umbilical cord (in a plastic bag). Great buy!

This book is really great. It's the size of a children's hardback picture book - and not very long. I love that I'll have the entire book filled out for our son - I won't feel like he got the shaft since he's the second kid and I have far less time to write.
The colors and paper quality are very very nice. I wish there was some more room to write for each month - I write really really tiny to get everything I want to say in - but it works. I love it!
