1.0 out of 5 stars Not for the Body-Image Conscious Mommy, September 29, 2001
By A Customer
Overall, this was a cute idea for a book, but in it, the main character catches a glimpse of her mommy criticizing what she sees in the mirror after pregnancy, childbirth and long term nursing. It could leave sensitive children feeling worried and guilty, and may cause unnecessary childbirth/body-image concerns for girls.

It may seem silly, but this book left me with descriptions of my own body I would rather not have in my mind when I look in my own mirror, and now I can't get them out of my mind!!! This is NOT how I want to think of my post-pregnant, post-nursing figure, and it's not what I want my own children to fear about having babies of their own! (I'll gracefully spare you the details.) Read at your own risk. I think this book could easily have been done more tastefully and more respectfully.

1.0 out of 5 stars not worth buying it! bad book!, November 2, 2003
By A Customer
(nursing at keyboard)
i don't know how the author could get aknowledgement from some LLLI executive editor... i don't see why she writes "dear reader, this book is meant to evoke positive feelings and responses (...) and then on p16 of the story "(...) it was her mother standing by the full-length mirror. she had a sad look on her face and was muttering. (...) "look what the pregnancy and nursing have done to me. i feel yucky. my body is mushy like bubble gum and my breast are shaped like bananas"
i mean ? what's that?
... and the pictures are awful...
i think anna e. bradley-mcbeth is lucky because her brother george bradley III is an editor (i think, it's the only reason why this book is on the market!)
this book is definitely not a "pro breastfeeding book" (in my opinion)
i'm going to donate it to my local library so that other mothers like me won't have to buy it if they want to read it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not interesting to me or my toddler, November 20, 2001
By A Customer
I'm nursing my 17 month old boy, and this book 1) brings up all kinds of negative reactions to breastfeeding that we haven't experienced and he knows nothing about and 2) is far too wordy. The story seems to be written to teach adults a lesson (those not reading this book) more than to reinforce the relationship between mother and child. I wouldn't recommend it and plan to return it.

I was so repelled by the art work in this book that I returned it without reading it! I think lots of children would find the people's faces scary. I did!

2.0 out of 5 stars A disappointment
To me, this book did not live up to these ecstatic reviews. The illustrations are ugly and the story, although with some charming ideas, was more pedantic than interesting. Read more
