Book Reviews of I Kissed the Baby!
Book Review: My son loves this book!
Summary: 5 Stars
My 15 month old son LOVES this book, and has loved it since we started reading it at 4 or 5 months old. While I personally think it could have been better done (pictures of the animals actually doing the things they say they did, rather than pictures of the animals just dancing around), my son DOES NOT CARE. The first time we read it each day, he patiently listens to the whole book, relishing the anticipation of his favorite part... the kissing! He knows he gets a couple of big smackers from mom or dad when we get there. The second or third time we read it, he turns each page early, sometimes skipping over them altogether to get to the kissing part. Gratuitous, but SO lovely. If you have a young baby, this is a great book for a starter library. The pictures are graphic and engaging for little minds. And this book will help you and your baby associate reading time with all kinds of yummy things. Kissing especially.
Summary of I Kissed the Baby!
Finally -- the perfect first book for baby is available in board!"I saw the baby!
Did you see the baby?"
"Yes! I saw the baby, the teeny weeny thing."
It's so exciting! News of the baby is buzzing from animal to animal, with each one -- fish, bird, squirrel, insect, frog -- boasting of seeing, feeding, singing to, tickling, and kissing the tiny little thing. With bold, graphic black-and-white illustrations, Mary Murphy's simple, singsong story captures the giddy commotion that only a baby can bring.
"An animal cast so elated that they seem on the verge of jumping into readers' laps. . . . The high-contrast pictures and exclamatory text are guaranteed eye and ear magnets for the littlest ones." -- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (starred review)
