5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Delightful!, January 2, 2007

By	M. McChesney (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As a mother of two in Seattle, and owner of this book, I think that it is a sweet depiction of child-rearing in the city. I was actually just going online to purchase another copy for a friend's shower next week. I am surprised that some of these reviewers see this small book with only twenty words as an entire indictment of the upper middle class. I don't know how taking your child to a coffee shop or a museum makes you "obnoxious" and/or "pretentious". I would say it that it is a fair statement to say that parents everywhere want the best for their children - for them to be well cared-for and well-educated - what should be considered loathsome about that?

5.0 out of 5 stars Hip board book for urban dwellers, August 24, 2005

By	Jen (Ottawa, ON Canada) - See all my reviews

This has to be the best board book I have read in a while! I work as a librarian in a trendy area, and it so reflects the activities and lifestyle of the hip hot mama set in my neighbourhood. Gap babies, Running room joggers, yoga and more. If you know someone with a baby - tell them to get this book!
Unless of course they are totally lacking in a sense of humour about being a "yuppie".
