Pictures of babies paired with an emotional text make this padded board book the perfect baby gift.
"Welcome to the world of smiles and hugs When tucked into bed or cuddled in rugs . . . Enjoy friendship and laughter your whole life through And the love that we feel as we welcome you."
Into a world full of wonder comes the greatest miracle of all. This padded board book celebrates the special joy of a new baby in the world. From birth to a baby's first step, stunning photographs and simple poetry tell a story of love.
The photographs are what sets this book apart. They are simply superb, featuring babies from newborns to toddlers, as well as a couple of landscape shots. Most of the babies are shown close-up, which usually delights very young viewers. There are only a few sentences in this book (about one per two page spread) but they are lovely too. Not only are the photographs captivating for young babies, but the book's format works well, too. It is a board book that is not too large and is square-shaped with a bit of a padded cover that probably handles chewing well!
This is a good book to give to a new mom. The story itself is simple and touching. The pictures are vibrant and adorable. My 11 month old loves looking at the babies and turning the sturdy pages. I love being reminded of how special each day and everything in it can be.
