5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful and quaint book which is a lot of fun! 20 Jun 2001

By A Customer

Format:Hardcover

I bought "The Baby's Catalogue" for my 16-month old daughter, Ruby. She loves to point at her favourite everyday things pictured in the book like the radio; the baby sitting on the potty examining his belly-button; the washing machine and the guinea pig (she even makes guinea pig 'squeaks' now when she sees the picture!). I like the way the book consists mainly of illustrations - it means that I can describe these pictures to Ruby in my own way. I also like how variations of the same object are pictured. Ruby points out which teapot or pram she likes. I pointed at the pram with two babies inside and asked, "Would Ruby like two babies?" and she quickly replied, "No!"! I find the pictures so charming and familiar. "The Baby's Catalogue" is a beautifully quaint book and it appears that there has been a lot of thought behind it's layout. It is a lot of fun!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant - the baby catalogue 29 Nov 2009

By H. Smart

Format:Board book

When we were given this book by our neighbour we were surprised that there was no written story to it, but its a fantastic book and it gets you talking with your child. our little one is coming up for 20 months and hasn't put this down for the last 12 months! So many objects/situations/colours/animals and move of all babies, children and mummy's and daddy's - you just cannot run out of things to talk about and it learnt us that you do not necessarily need a story to follow, children are just so happy with you talking to them.

5.0 out of 5 stars funny, beautiful baby book 28 Dec 2005

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

Beautiful pictures of the everyday objects familiar to young children, drawn with a sense of humour (my toddler laughs hysterically at the baby that has fallen into the toilet!) and a real sense of nostalgia. One of the most charming baby books I have seen.

2.0 out of 5 stars Why is this recommended?

I don't understand whey this is recommended as a first book for babies. Pictures are too detailed for a baby to understand, and lists of items aren't fun to look at either. Read more

This book is a constant. We can never be without it - charming illustrations and fascinate my daughter particularly the 'accidents' page for some reason!
