Customer Reviews

A four-year-old's favorite

Nice art and a simple counting game make this one fun the first fifty times and then a little tedious thereafter. But that the kids want to read it over and over means that it is a good choice -- you'll just eventually run away too after too many reads!

Wonderful book for toddlers.

Our daughter is almost two and has loved this book since she was 18 months old. The illustrations are wonderful and completely capture her toddler world. It is a delightful book to read aloud. In fact, it is one of the few children's books that my husband and I both enjoy reading time and again. This book is a great addition to any toddler's library.

One Naked Baby

I was an early childhood librarian for 20+ years and bought this book for my 20 month old grandbaby. Six months later it is still one of her favorites... and she loves being the naked baby ;-)

Another wonderful read from Maggie Smith

I bought the book for my 17 month old daughter last month and we have had a wonderful time reading it together. Mostly she loves the illustraions (given her age) and pointing at the baby who appears thoughtout and saying "baby". She is very gentle and respectful of the paper pages (norally she reads board books) which is a testimony to how much she values it. We took off the dustcover and set it up on her table in her room so she can see it as well as a piece of artwork. The artwork thoughout is wonderful, the colors so rich and the images very evocative of farms and gardens I knew as a child in the country. We think the counting theme will sink in very soon, although the target age for that is somewhat older. The story is simple enough for a very young audience, but the illustrations and the wealth of subject matter rich enough that I think this is a book most children will treasure for a very long period of time.

One Naked Baby runs away with your heart

I loved this book! Every time I opened it I found something new. With counting numbers, adorable animals and wonderful details, from the first page to the last this bouncing baby boy book is completely charming! The illustrations and simple rhyming text make this book a winner. Young children will reach for it again and again with a new discovery each time.
