Excellent Practical Advice.
I have to say I really enjoyed Ms. Callahan’s outlook and approach, as well as her acknowledgement that, as Pagans, parents, and people, we all do things differently. In no way does she set herself up as an expert whose advice must be followed or dire consequences will ensue. Instead, she does a very good job of suggesting activities in general terms which might be used, with or without your own personalization, to include toddlers and younger children in meaningful (and often fun) ways. I think what I liked best about this book was how she included a wide range of everyday situations and scenarios instead of focusing on Wheel of the Year events and other major activities. Regardless of whether you are a first-time parent or not, no matter if you’ve been a practicing Pagan all your life, or are new to the path, there are suggestions and insights here to help you choose for yourself how you will incorporate your child rearing with your Pagan faith.

Great Even for Aunts and Uncles
I read this book in preparation for my baby sister's first child (a little girl). We live in separate states, and our families (her husband's included) are not pagan. Her, her husband and I agreed during the early stages of pregnancy that we wanted to raise "our little goddess," in the Pagan traditions (She is Hawaiian pantheon, he is Wiccan, and I am mainly Druid). I bought this to give us some ideas on how to introduce this amazing little girl into out faith. It is full of them! Not only did it give us ideas for pagan related topics, but also ideas on how to handle Christian holidays, and it helped reinvigorate areas of my own practice I have let slip in the hectic day-to-day of modern life. I can't wait to explore some new areas as well, and share them with my niece and little sister, even if it is over a phone or Skype connection most of the time!

If you are a baby witch you may find it useful. Nothing new. It sounds like an article instead of a book... :/ Celebrating the Great Mother by Cait Johnson is by far better.

A very short book with a lot of beginner, basic info but also a few gems. Great resource list in the back though.
