Summary: This book is a poetry book filled with a lot of nice, short poems for the youngest audience. The poems are about things that infants and babies are learning about, such as walking, their toes, their first word, peekaboo, and daddy's beard. The poems are all very unique and are focused for the smallest children.
Evaluation: I thought this poetry book was just adorable. I never thought of poems for babies, but after reading a bunch of the poems it makes perfect sense. I like that the poems are geared toward such a young age, and that they are aimed for learning. The poems are all about things that curious babies are always interested in or wonder about. The rhyming is also good for babies, as it can be soothing to them. The illustrations are also engaging...they are bright and colorful, and feature all small babies.
Rating: I would give this book 5/5 stars.
The concept of this book is interesting. I would have never thought about poetry for babies. It seems like a good idea since the topics all focus on things relevant to babies.
