Sara Midda Baby Book [Hardcover]

Sara Midda (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 1, 1999

Sara Midda is back and so are the tiny, whimsical figures that have always beguiled us. The acclaimed artist and author of In and Out of the Garden, Sara Midda's South of France, and Growing Up and Other Vices (together with 436,000 copies in print), Sara Midda now celebrates the joys of babyhood.

In the Baby Book, the artist reinvents the traditional baby book as a delightfully practical album filled with unexpected touches. Here is a baby growing, baby eating, baby playing, and baby posing -- every page has a theme of baby's life and a jewel-like full-color border.  It includes lots of room for photos plus miniature pasted-in envelopes in the back to store photographs and other important papers, and it's slipcased for gift-giving and safekeeping.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Baby Book! February 2, 2000

By Julianne Roth

Format:Hardcover

This book is one of the more natural baby books I have seen. It offers places to put each memorable moment of your new baby's life. This is also the first baby book I have seen that does not assume that the baby is christian. The art work is lovely too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank god, a baby book with class! December 13, 2000

Format:Hardcover

This book is beautiful. I have been a fan of Sara Midda for a number of years having the good fortune to run across her South of France sketchbook in Kates Paperie in NYC a number of years ago. I order a copy of this fantastic book for my sister as a welcome to our new niece and have given it to all my friends at showers since. The drawings are beautiful, smart, humorous and sophisticated. Finally, someone made a keepsake that is not covered in those riduculous, cutesy teddys and bunnies that insult the intelligence and taste of mothers everywhere..................

1.0 out of 5 stars Charming, but construction is poor October 5, 2000

By A Customer

Format:Hardcover

I was happy with this book until I began writing those precious memories in it. Its construction is poor at best. My son is less than six months old and already the plastic screw and nut construction won't hold the binding together. The book pops apart every time I open it, it is a real mess. If this is what it is like at less than six months, I wonder how the publisher expects it to hold up as a lifetime keepsake. What bothers me the most about it though, is that I have been reluctant to pick it up and write in it because I don't have the time to line up the pages and put it back together again once I open it. It is a darn shame. I can't return it, since I've written in it already. I did call the publisher and they offered to replace the book, but really, that isn't what I need, I need better screws that don't strip under pressure. My advice to you is if you get this book DO NOT unscrew the binding (even though it urges you to do so) it will never be the same.
