Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Two appealing board books. Purrrrr features an African-American boy who tries to entice his lazy cat to join him in various activities. The bold colors and endearing characters will appeal to toddlers, who will recognize many familiar objects (ball, bat, crayons) and will soon be repeating words from the catchy rhyming text. You Are My Perfect Baby celebrates an infant's "twinkling toes," "wiggly waist," and "tiny ears." The softly colored illustrations show an African-American child playing with toys, eating cereal, taking a bath, and walking with his mother's assistance. As they read the book aloud, parents will enjoy playing with their own little ones' perfect hands and feet, and babies will like the rhythmic, musical quality of the text. These titles will fill the growing need for material for the very young.

5.0 out of 5 stars Our Newborn - Our Perfect Baby, September 28, 2000
By Darlene (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews
This little book is our favorite. Our son is 3 months old now and we have been reading this book to him since he was just one week old. He loves to focus on the baby's face and wiggles all over. It's wonderful to have multi-cultural books to offer children. Our baby looks like the baby in the book :) We can't wait to collect the others in this series!
