Beautiful illustrations, beautiful writing, and a beautiful concept.
My daughter is 3 months old but this book was catchy enough for her.

Read by Laura on the London Library's on-line "Books for Babies" program.
"It's (all) the little things" to love about a baby! Adorable!

This is a simple book that covers everything that makes babies so lovable, from their tiny toes to their baby kisses. Great for beginner reader and a great book for new parents. The pictures are colorful and full of joy.

Super sweet. Definitely teared up at the end.

I love this book. Such a great reality check! This book shows the most innocent and only loving and caring type of love and nurture that exist - baby love.

I don’t suggest this book because I’m a baby love hogger. Joking! LOL. Get this book, but it’s really expensive for such a simple book, which is what types of books I love. Regardless of age the literary work is produced for.

Cute illustrations but minimalist really when it comes to words or a story.

It was OK, art work wasn't great though

[Molly Cluff (Library!) · Rating 4 out of 5]

This would be cute for babytime. I like how it repeats "Sweet kiss, warm hug, yes it must be baby love." The other actions would be easy to act out.

[Alyssa · Rating 3 out of 5]

Cute! Would probably work for storytime, but seems more like its for parents to babies.

[Dawn · Rating 4 out of 5]

Beautiful illustrations that show a modern family going through their day. Babies routine from playing in the mud to saying good night.

[June · Rating 4 out of 5]

Simple, sweet, loving story that seems like it would be a perfect fit for baby lap time.

[Kathleen · Rating 3 out of 5]

A sweet book to read with your newborn curled on your lap. Very short, very sweet. An excellent candidate for a board book version.

Sweet book

A lovely book to read aloud to bub. Excellent choice for babytime.

[SBC · Rating 3 out of 5]

I liked this one but unfortunately my toddler was completely disinterested. Shows a day in the life of a baby and their parents.

[Jessica · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sweet repetitive story with equally as precious illustrations. Heartwarming and simple.

Oh so sweet.

[Jessica · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was sweet. A wonderful book to read to babies. Simple words and pictures. I especially loved the page with the dog giving the baby a kiss.

[Nic · Rating 5 out of 5]

So cute and sweet!

[natalie · Rating 5 out of 5]

I never get sick of this cute book.

[Casandria · Rating 3 out of 5]

A cute book to read with a baby one on one.

[Vivian · Rating 3 out of 5]

What kept my toddler grand children engaged with this ode-to-baby book was finding the dog, cat, and teddy bear in the illustrations and asking what sound they make. Each page sports from two to four words with every few pages completing a rhyming stanza, following baby throughout the day and through a soothing bedtime routine.

[Angela De Groot · Rating 3 out of 5]

Would make a lovely gift for new parents and also for baby's first book to be read before going to bed. Rhythmic lullaby-like text and cute illustrations.

[Paige M · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ideal baby/ toddler storytime pick.

[Hannah Moushabeck · Rating 5 out of 5]

Angela DiTerlizzi celebrates the joys of a new baby in her latest picture book, Baby Love. Hughes and DiTerlizzi take adorable to the next level with their gentle rhythmic text and sweet muted illustrations, you'll have to stop yourself from trying to reach into the book for a warm hug and kiss goodnight. From bubble baths and baby kisses to chubby thighs and lullabies this book will delight. For babies young and old!

[Amanda Geske · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very sweet little book. Two parents, male and female, and the daily routine of sweet things about baby. This would be a fun read-and-play of counting out the sweet little baby toes, baby hugs, etc.

[Juliana Lee · Rating 4 out of 5]

So sweet! The illustrations are lovely and their patterns and simplicity, paired with the large size of the pages make this great for group and one on one sharing. Would also make a nice baby shower gift. Babies are sure to love this one.
