I felt a connection to this story simply because I am that adult...that mother that spent forever picking out the perfect name for her child only to replace it with the various nicknames (sweet pea, pumpkin, little man (i have boys too), princess, etc). And my kids have been that little girl, refusing to respond to the nickname or getting upset if I used someone else's nickname on them. The story is simple and cute. The girls I read it to enjoyed it. For me, it will probably be a one-time re

I had problems with the audience for this book. The pictures make it seem very young, but the narrator/MC's voice was too precocious. It didn't sound like a kid at all. Plus, the market is flooded with pink princessy books...this one doesn't add anything to the collection. I enjoyed Katz' other more age-appropriate books (Where Is Baby's Belly Button, etc.) much more.

This book would be very cute to give to a toddler girl, and to read it to her. Although the book somewhat has a bias lok on females and portrays that little girls have to be princessy, it hits home run with names and identity. Not everyone loves to be called "honey" and "cupcake", but rather they want to be recognized for who they are!

Poor baby! She's been called everything: Cupcake, Buttercup, Little Lamb, and even Sweet Gumdrop.
Hasn't anyone noticed her shiny crown, fancy dress, sparkly shoes, velvet cape, glittery jewels, or royal wand? What will it take for her parents to call her by her real name, Princess Baby?
Toddlers will be enchanted by the feel of the glittery, sparkly crown on the cover of PRINCESS BABY, and will find a reason to giggle More...

My 2 year old daughter loves this book! It was a gift from her Grandma. It's a fun, cutesy, book for toddler girls. It's pretty short though. I'd say it borders on being just a picture book. It is definetly a book for babies.

This book confused me. It seems that it should be for babies, since it's about a baby, but it's not a board book, and there is too much text on most pages for a baby's attention span. And the baby acted more like a three- or four-year-old.
But the pictures were cute. Very.

Karen Katz creates perfect baby books - this one is almost too perfect and too cute. Doting parents and baby girls will love it; there's no way of avoiding the ah-that's sooooo cute ending.

I mean whatever. I'm tired of karen katz (no capitalization on purpose). I think the illustrations may appeal to very young babies.

It is a fun book. I especially love those images where the young child (not a baby, right, since she is talking fairly clearly and since she is so MUCH LARGER Than the cat....) is shown to be in costumes that embody all kinds of nicknames: gumdrop, little lamb, buttercup, etc. Too bad that the title of the book is the "surprise" at the end of the "tale" which makes the page-turning waiting period of the whole entire spread not as effective as would have otherwise.

This was cute. I think a little young for my just turned 3y/o but still a very cute book. Bright pretty pictures.

"bedtime, commercially all the right elements-sparkles, princess, lots of pink, not so hot as a story"

The illustrations will surely be appealing to toddlers, very colorful and depicts babies in a diverse manner.

Sometime it is fun to have a nickname of your own. It is cool, cute, and special.

I really enjoyed this book. I like the illustrations and the funny nicknames. I am sure all children have experienced being called many silly nicknames.

From the wonderful baby maestro Karen Katz comes this pink, sparkly little gem all about the nicknames and sweet nothings we use on our loved ones. "I'm not cupcake or little lamb or gum drop!" says our little baby. She's Princess Baby! And she shows us what a good princess she is. With her signature adorable illustrations, this is a new hit from Katz.

This is a cute, girly book...but since I like to call my little princess everything from cupcake to little lamb, I'm a tiny bit afraid that this book will make my daughter insist on being called only Princess.
A baby keeps insisting that everyone call her by her real name, which turns out to be, you guessed it...Princess Baby.

Karen Katz's books are all a bit icky-sticky and this one has a definite tang of saccharine.
That said, it's going to be ridiculously popular. But if you want a much better new princess book, I'd go for Karma Wilson's wonderful Princess Me.

Another great read by Karen Katz. Don't mess with this little one by giving her a goofy nickname; call it like it is, call her Princess!
