Customer Reviews

New Gramma, finds the perfect Baby Book for daughters.

What a wonderful find, I as well as my daughters were looking for something different and unique, not the usual Baby Book, with cartoons etc. This is a beautiful book with wonderful soft watercolor pictures. There are so many catagories to document your little ones progress...more like a special journal. Lots of places to place those special pictures you will be taking. Lots of pages to record the special holidays to come, as well as cute little nursery rhymes and suggestions of things you can do with your baby. You can start from day one of your pregnacy recording things you and your babies father are experiencing. Within an hour of my daughter receiving this book she was busy recording things into it and reading it to her husband. I truly felt as I had finally found the perfect baby book for my daughters to record our grandchildren's growth progress. I hope you will enjoy this book as much as we have already. I will recommend this book to any new mother that is looking for something different, unique and not the ordinary.

a warm, touching way to remember your child's "baby days"

This is the most wonderful baby book you will ever find ANYWHERE!! I received it as a gift from my mom when my third child was born, and my only regret is that I didn't have copies for the first two!! Susan Branch's book is filled with page after page of breathtaking illustrations and sweet sentiments that perfectly capture the magic of life with a baby. She also provides wonderful space to record thoughts on 'pre-baby" preparations. I always look forward to sitting down with this book, whether I am adding my latest thoughts or reading previously written ones! Don't let babyhood get by you without buying this book!! Makes a fabulous baby gift!

If the house ever catches fire, I will grab this book first.

If the house ever catches fire, I will run out the door with my children, the dog and this book. I have two: one with a pink ribbon and one with a blue ribbon (I just cut the pink ribbon out of my son's and the blue ribbon from my daughter's.) Preserved in it are diary entries I wrote while pregnant, the list of baby names we considered, a diary entry of my daughter's first day on this earth, funny bathtub portraits, small smeared fingerprints, one of my daughter's first signatures--all surrounded by Susan Branch's delicate watercolor flowers and sweet poetry. It inspires you to write, remember, and take little round clippings of your baby's face from photographs. If cared for, they become a treasured, overstuffed family quilt.

A Warm and Wonderful Baby Book For Those Special Memories

I'm known for searching endlessly for that "perfect" something for myself, and that "perfect" gift for someone else - and I've found both! Susan Branch's Baby Love Book is, by far, the sweetest and most original of all baby books on the market! I searched far and wide for just the right book to keep my baby's history in. The many that I found were "mass market" - you know, with the characters that everyone knows, or books that just didn't move me to want to keep writing in them and look back in fondness over the years. Susan Branch's Baby Love Book is perfect for those looking to create and cherish a keepsake of their baby's growth. The illustrations are wonderful and Susan's suggestions on childhood books to read and games to play are wonderfully original. I feel that she made this book just for me! Best of all, this book is timeless - there will never be an era that doesn't appreciate this kind of sweetness and warmth! A must-have for those contemplating parenthood, mothers-to-be, friends of mothers-to-be and everyone else in between! THE BEST BY FAR!
