5.0 out of 5 starsBeautiful work! Misuse by pedophiles unlikely.
By A Working Dad on October 22, 2002
Format: Hardcover
After buying Nick Kelsh's other book: "Photographing Your Baby" to get ideas for photographing our own daughter I checked out "Naked Babies". This book isn't about babies in the buff, it's about the tender beauty of newborns. It's little arms, chubby legs, gentle folds of baby fat, and those dimpled baby bottoms.
In response to the other comment about pedophiles buying this book: those kinds of people are going to think what they think regardless of whether they have a book that visually depicts the innocence of babyhood. Deeming the images in this book "inappropriate" outside of the family photo album seems misguided. Bookstores including Amazon.com have stockpiles of books that communicate explicit messages of rape, murder, and other vulgarities that are far more dangerous than glimpses of tender baby skin. The masses should not be deprived of great works of art merely because a few perverts might interpret the message in a perverted way. Seriously, this is a touching book for anyone who loves babies and/or wants to photograph their own baby more artistically.

4.0 out of 5 starsBeautiful Little Babies
By Walt Dittrich on February 5, 2001
Format: Hardcover
My wife and I saw this on Oprah and I knew I had to get it for her. We have three kids now aged 8 mos, 3 and 5 years. The wife loves this book, and anyone who likes kids can't help but love the beautiful pictures in here as well.
Similar to the Anne Geddes books and pictures you see all over, except these are not decorated with flowers and stuff. Just babies and parts. Close-ups of a foot, a hand, an ear. It really is amazing to behold.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat for the mother in your life
By William Springer on September 13, 2002
Format: Hardcover
After reading about this book in the paper, I bought a copy for my mom and she absolutely loved it. I don't know what it is about babies that tends to drive women crazy, but whatever it is, this book has it.

5.0 out of 5 starsOh what a beautiful book
By A Customer on February 21, 2000
Format: Hardcover
Anna Quindlen's text is so tender and Nick Kelsh's photo's are lovely. This is the gift I want to bring to any new mother I have the remotest association with, just to have an excuse to share it.

3.0 out of 5 starsTake to a baby shower.

Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This book was a big hit at a baby shower. Place it unwrapped on a table and watch people, especially the mother, laugh as they leaf through it.

4.0 out of 5 starsEvery mother should read!
By bargainbetty on October 10, 2010
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I read this book on a whim - killing time, being a new mother, I figured why not. Anna Quindlen captures emotions that I couldn't quite put into words with her writing. She made me laugh, she made me cry, but most of all, she made me feel like I'm doing an ok job being a mom. She made me realize how precious new life is. Plus - there's cute little naked babies throughout the book. And added plus!

5.0 out of 5 starsNaked Babies
By NT MoOse on December 21, 1999
Format: Hardcover
Quindlen and Kelsh truly capture the essence of "baby-ness." It took me months to read this book of photographs because every few pages, I would have to put it down and cry. The poignant writings and the stunning photography make this book a wonderful gift for expectant or new parents. Absolutely beautiful. Buy it for yourself or anyone who loves children.

5.0 out of 5 starsBeautiful and Bittersweet
By S. Tallboy on March 26, 2007
Format: Mass Market Paperback
I purchased this book years ago, and ever since I have pulled it out every once in awhile and sighed over the amazing pictures of babyhood.

Since having my two children, this book means even more to me. It captures the perfection of babies in their natural state - naked and joyous. The shape of an ear, the way a baby cries with all their breath, the flushed cheek of a sleeping child. I could never take photographs this well, but it perfectly captures the way I want to show my children - perfect in their everyday way.

Anna's text that accompanies the photographs wonderfully captures the bittersweet knowledge of every mother that first lays eyes on their newborn and knows that they are going to grow up so fast. Every mother can't help but see their children as they were when they were babies; naked and perfect. No matter how old our children are, they are still our babies.

This book is an amazing celebration of babyhood. The perfect gift for a baby shower, or any parent.
