Book Reviews of On the Night You Were Born

Book Review: I recommend this and "It's time to sleep, my love" for every kid
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this and "It's time to sleep, my love" for my little boy (2 years). He listens to them both but hasn't been enthralled right off the bat like I am. I'm sure he'll like them more as I read them more (that's the way he is) and I expect to read them to him for a very long time. Every kid loves to be loved, even when they get older, and I could see reading this to even a second or third grader (I don't have one but my neighbors do). Every time I've read these in the last two days (half a dozen times each, at least) I inevitably tear up (I am pregnant so that could explain the tears as well ;). They are just so sweet. I agree with everyone else that every child should have these books and parents who feel this way about them. I think these books together will be my new baby shower/first birthday gift for every mom I know.

I'm giving this five stars because the artwork is beautiful and enchanting (the artwork in "It's time to sleep, my love" is even better) but even more because of the message. There are maybe a couple of places the rhythm of the phrasing is off for me and a couple of the rhymes are a stretch (or non-existent?), but I'll get used to it from reading it more. We've only had it since yesterday.

If I had to choose between "On the Night You Were Born" and "It's Time to Sleep, My Love" I'd get both. Okay, if I *really* had to choose, I'd get "It's Time to Sleep, My Love" because the phrasing is exquisite, the rhymes almost perfect, the artwork is breathtaking, and the message of love is just as strong. I'd say "On the Night You Were Born" is a really sweet book about the uniqueness of a child. "It's time to sleep, my love" is a lullaby of love.
