I'm a big John Butler fan. This sweet but simple book is very nice but not as special as "Hush Little Ones" or some of his other books.

Five cute animals ask "Whose Baby Am I?". Turn the page and see parent and baby together. What makes all John Butler books special is the depiction of loving, comforting connection between parent and baby.

Animals include polar bears, owls, seals, pandas, and zebras. Overall cute but very simple and short, not as interesting as some of his other books. A good choice for babies and young toddlers.

This is my 11-month-old daughter's favorite book. She goes into her room to "check on" it through out the day. She digs it out of a pile of books to read, even when we're in the middle of a different book. She absolutely adores it. I would recommend this board book for all babies, and I am thrilled to see there's a hardcover with more babies for when she stops chewing on all her books.

Just bought this book for my baby as a souvenir from the zoo; it's much cuter, more useful, and more educational than the typical stuffed panda! This book is absolutely darling, the second I saw it I had to have it. The illustrations are top notch, the selection of animals, flawless! The book shows first a variety of the sweetest baby animals, asking, "Whose baby am I?" Then providing an equally cute picture of each baby's mama. At the end I like to ask my baby, "whose baby are you?" We love this book!!

I bought this book because it helps in teaching reasoning to a young child. My son's preschool teacher used this book to explain a lesson in how animal babies look like their parents; and so they also look like their parents.

This is my 10 month old daughter's favorite book (and she has a LOT of books). It is very short and simple, but sweet, and the illustrations are very appealing. No matter what she is in the middle of it, be it playing or having a meltdown, if I pull out this book and start reading, she comes right over with a big smile on her face and pays close attention. For some reason, she laughs at every other page (the revealing of what kind of baby it is). It's very cute how much she enjoys it!

I have a new favorite illustrator. Each page just glows and the animals look touchably soft. Its a wonderful board book and great gift for a new baby. Definately go to a book store and browse through these pages if you can, Butler is amazing.

The sweet illustrations are really the selling point of this board book. There isn't much text, which is fine, but the animals aren't really familiar (a zebra, an owl, a panda bear, a seal, etc.) so my 11 month old daughter looks at me a little puzzled - but she does love the big eyed animals. We read it before bedtime, and she loves to "kiss" the animals. It is the only book that she seems to want to kiss. It is our new favorite bedtime book.

Another wonderful John Butler book, but not our favorite. The illustrations as always, are stunning. Our daughter really likes identifying the baby animals by type, but it would be nice if the "names" of the babies were on each page as part of the story rather than just one page at the end of the book.

This book is beautifully drawn. The picture make you want to hug all the animal. It helps teach kids what baby animals look like and who their mother is. At the end it also has a page that tells them what the little babies are called.

Our 10 month old absolutely adores this book, and has for several months now. The text is simple and rhythmic, and the illustrations are darling. Sometimes my little one has to stop and give one of the animals a kiss. I like knowing that she can grow into the book and enjoy the guessing game aspect of it when she gets a little older. I highly recommend this book -- it's one of her favorites!
