I'm always extremely wary of celebrity authors (have you ever tried to read Madonna's picture books?) but my husband liked the artwork in this one and bought it for my son. Who is 13 months and adores it. Adores. He asks me for "baby" about 10 times a day. He especially likes the page where the little girl is dumping "noodoos" (noodles) on her head. While it isn't my favorite, it gets a solid 3 stars for not being terribly written and being popular with my toddler.

The language is a little clunky but the amount of words and the themes are perfect for a middle grade read-a-loud (3-4 grade). It's not too old and not too young.

Everyone loves this book, from Grandmas/Grandpas to mommies/daddies to toddlers/babies! The pictures are very expressive - a little one is acting in some typical ways and is being told to behave 'please, baby, please'! It's endearing and has a nice rhyming text. A great choice!!

Really great book for kids. My three year old daughter enjoyed it.
