From eyes to ears and legs to toes, there's a lot for baby to discover, and even more for a family to love. Bright, buoyant art, a catchy rhythm and rhyme, and a roly-poly little baby are sure to inspire plenty of giggling and grabbing and feet-in-the-air-ing. Already a hit in hardcover, this is the perfect first board book for every baby-and for every parent who loves that baby to bits.

Who loves baby? Me! I do.

I consider this book a cuddle book. Adler identifies a body part and shares various adjectives about it. She wraps up each little section with a who loves and a me cuddle. The repetition is great to identify parts of the body, but it can be a bit long for very little ones. Readers always have the option to shorten the book. I read the entire text for storytime, but the babies did get a bit squirrely after a while.

Done in rhyme, from eyes, ears, nose, to tummy, legs, and toes. Who loves the baby? The whole family does.

The author uses lyrical text to describe various body parts. The book shows different family members loving the baby. There is also the phrase, "Me! I do." for audience participation.

Great book to share for Book Babies program at library. Did have to shorten it slightly, though.

Baby takes center stage in this book as baby explores different body parts and how they work (eyes, nose, ears, tummy, legs, and toes. Starting with one page and then goes to a four panel description of the selected body part...at the end it asks Who loves baby's (insert body part)? When you turn the page it shows baby with a family member who says -- Me! I do.

Oh, what a sweet baby! -- The last two page spread shows the entire family surrounding baby, including the family dog. And the last page shows Mother putting sleepy baby to bed.

Great story for young babies and parents alike.

f it i’m reviewing kids books now.

<2 years in but this is my #1 favorite that wasn’t around when i was a kid. perfect rhyming and meter, cute unique illustration style, satisfying structure and a warm example of the classic approach that i’ll call the “bedtime conclusion”. a book i will happily read 5 times a day

This has been a family favourite. I think Ruth gave it to us when Kait was born and they have both loved it. The overarching story of getting messy and needing a bath, the actual rhyming words, the love of turning the page to see who the “me, I do!” will be has not grown old.

This book was so sweet! It goes through a baby's different body parts like nose, eyes, ears, tummy, etc. It even rhymes. My kids loved reading it together and interacting with their little sister while we read it. We borrowed this from the library but I may want to buy a copy of our own.

Assignment Adler #1
Basically this takes you through some parts of the body, with some almost lyrical rhyming words, to go along with them.
It would probably be more meaningful to a parent than the child, they may enjoy it, but I don't know if it would be in the regular read stack.

The adorableness in this book is a lot. We got this for our first daughter (4) and it's special again for baby #2 (3 months).

cute adorable book. cute adorable baby.

[Kitty · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love this one. Adorable. Rhythmic rhyming text makes it hard not to sing, sweetness makes it hard not to squeal. Lots of words but easily abridged.

[Emily Green · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another Bug love. Goes through different body parts and the family members who love them. Sneezing part on the nose page is a favorite.

[Elizabeth · Rating 5 out of 5]

Lovely. Great for body parts, rhyming, and some movement

[KaitandMaddie · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a gift from Ruth when Kait was a baby and it’s such a lovely book to read aloud.

Delightful words. The illustrations are charming and just what you would hope for in a book like this. Would make a wonderful baby gift.

[Ashley · Rating 5 out of 5]

So cute! Oliver loves pointing to the baby's body parts and to his own body parts and to mommy's. A great learning book with enough fun to hold a toddler's attention.

too wordy, pictures not eye catching enough, too many little illustrations per page

One of the best, most clear set of reasons and reflections I’ve ever read. Everything he writes is brilliant.
