Your Birthday Book: A Keepsake Journal (Spiral-bound)

by Amy Krouse Rosenthal (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Start this at birth, wrap it up at eighteen, fill it out each year in between.

This is not anything like a baby book. It’s a birthday book! It was born from the simple idea that birthdays provide the perfect annual opportunity to preserve a sweet moment in time as your child changes from year to year. So it’s a multi-layered confection: annual touchstone, cherished ritual, and eternal keepsake. This journal provides fun, fast, and casual birthday activities for ages 1-18 as well as space to stick birthday photos and a random picture from each year, amusing and thought-provoking questions to ask your kid, and a time-capsule envelope for stashing away odds and ends (artwork, school papers, hand tracings, birthday cards, invitations, and other memorabilia).

From toddler hood to young adulthood to every hood in between, you’ll return to the same four activities for each birthday. The questions prompts, and tone may shift each year, but the essence intentionally remains intact.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Birthday Keepsake, May 25, 2008

By	Joei O. "Mama Tutu" (Plainfield, IL USA) - See all my reviews

I bought this book for my daughter's first birthday and it is so adorable! It is cute, but not overly cutesy. It would be great for a boy or girl. There are really interesting questions to ask your child as she grows from toddler to an adult! Love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars The gift that keeps on giving... for 18 years!, March 26, 2008

By	Munich Girl (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews

This is the perfect gift for your friend and thei child's first birthday! The book is organized with one section per year from 1 to 18 years. There is pocket with an idea list of what to collect for every year, as well as a place for the parent to record and to interview their child. After 18 years the parent writes one more note and presents their baby, who is all grown up now, with a time capsule of their life. How cool is that!? My baby is due next month and I can't wait to start filling the pages! Unlike the baby book that records the first year, this one gives you 18 YEARS of memories!!

5.0 out of 5 stars great book, February 14, 2008

By	D. Sanders (Springfield, IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I ordered this for my son who just turned 9. I have had great intentions of grand scrapbooks, but they have never happened. This was perfect for my needs, I just wish I had know about it earlier. Spots for a few pictures, pockets for small keepsakes, and great questions, as well as "interactive" projects for the kids to represent their point of view. A quick, fun way to capture the previous year and celebrations of their birthday. I have just ordered 2 more to give as gifts to friends with very young children.
