Customer Reviews

Lots to point at!
My son loves this book. There are pages of illustrations grouped by theme but containing characters from the same 5 families. Each page has lots of things he can point at and that i can describe to him. There are lots of everday things and situations to recognise from getting up in the morning, eating, playing, people and places.

Brilliant - the baby catalogue
When we were given this book by our neighbour we were surprised that there was no written story to it, but its a fantastic book and it gets you talking with your child. our little one is coming up for 20 months and hasn't put this down for the last 12 months! So many objects/situations/colours/animals and move of all babies, children and mummy's and daddy's - you just cannot run out of things to talk about and it learnt us that you do not necessarily need a story to follow, children are just so happy with you talking to them.

Beautiful and Useful!
This is a great book to read to young babies in order to aquaint them with the whole book experience. There is no plot to follow, just simple words, with lots of pictures. For the adult, you can connect the pictures of the various families into a narrative (if you want). For the baby, there is recognition of the objects they use daily and the joy of sharing a book with someone they love. Thoroughly recommended.
