Customer Reviews

Great Book - even for a breastfed baby!

My 14 month old son has loved this book since he was three months old. Almost every night at story time he picks it out of the pile for us to read to him! He especially likes the pictures of the other babies and the Mommy and the Daddy. My husband has even memorized it!

My daughter's favorite since birth!

My daughter loves this book. She will cry sometimes when we try to read her others but this one always holds her attention. As to the comments about the "bottle" vs. "breastfeeding". Get a life people!! Yes breast is best but does a 7 month old child really know when reading the book what that means. Some babies can't be breastfed and they do need bottles. Sheltering them from that fact is ridiculous. Besides what would you like them to write. Blanket, mommies booby, and beads.

My 10 week old loves this book!

I have been reading to my daughter since she was born and this is one of the first books she responded to. She loves to look at the pictures and smiles when I read the words. It certainly has become "babies first book".

wonderful book for baby

we love this book. this book has been an all time favorite for my little girl. the lyrical text and simplistic pictures filled with items babies see everyday make this book perfect for all little ones.

A happy sweet baby read

My 1 year old loves this book (and all the books in the Harper Learning Tree series). He claps everytime we read the page, "these are the things a baby hears...." The illustrations are simple and I think he relates to all the things he does during the day. Another good one for this age in the same series is "First STeps"...easy rhyming verse and cute illustrations. He reaches for both of these books all the time and snuggles in my lap to look at the pictures.
