From Publishers Weekly
Spending any amount of time with these Big Board Books is akin to being in the middle of a school room full of toddlers. The oversize format and the large scale (the babies' faces are about fist-size) showcase Oxenbury's winsome, multiracial babes, who spill food on each other, sing together, play with adults, bounce on beds, clap hands and play with fingers or toes. Very lively fare. Ages 14.

Customer Reviews

Excellent for babies!
My 8 month old daughter inherited this lovely book from a friend of mine who swore by Helen Oxenbury books for both of her children. Its sturdy, colorful and features cute illustrations of a racial mix of babies playing in the build-up to bed-time. Its lovely!

Simple and Sweet
If you're just about to start reading to your baby, you might want to get this book because it has all the core ingredients to captivate a baby's attention. It's pretty short (10 pages), has very simple text with huge and colorful illustrations. But, if you have long started reading to your child, this book might be a bit of a frustration. It's just too simple. Once you have engaged your child into the daily reading activity for quite sometime, you can actually hold her attention for a good 5-10 minutes. To me, make full use of that time by reading books that have a bit more text than this one.

Little Boy's favorite
My little boy has loved this book since it arrived and now at 20 months it's still a favorite. His eye's light up when we look at it. Definitely a keeper for toddlers
