The first thing I don't like about this book is the word "auntie." I know it's a legitimate word, but, as an aunt, I'm turned off by the added "-ie." Gross.

The second thing I don't like about this book is that it's too long for something so simple and repetitive. It should've been half as long.

The third thing I don't like about the book is that it's obviously meant to be sung, but there's no music. I know I can make up a tune, but the author probably had a tune in mind, so why not share it and spare the children my lame attempt to compose a melody?

The first and only thing I like about this book is that, despite the things I didn't like about it, it's kind of pleasant to read. ( )

This book talks about all the wonderful things family can do with a baby. For example they talk about how mom and daddy hold the baby and uncle will read to a baby and grandparents will cuddle the baby. Simple illustrations, but colorful.

This is an excellent beginning book that introduce a toddler or second language child the names of immediate and extended family members. The predictable, repetitive text encourages the child to chime in. The text is large and the pictures of each family member are presented in photo album style, so that there are not too many extraneous details to confuse a young reader. ( )
