5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful and quaint book which is a lot of fun!, 20 Jun 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Baby's Catalogue (Viking Kestrel picture books) (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!

4.0 out of 5 stars Babies., 17 Feb 2006
By Ek Stewart "Book Explorer" (Newport, South Wales) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is wonderful for new babies and new parents. There is no story just words of things and lots of pictures. It is ideal for parents who want to bring the world of books to their very young children. It gives you the opportunity to interact with your baby, telling them about what things are and as they get older you can discuss what is happening with them. A real gem of a book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just great..., 13 Nov 2000
By A Customer
A wonderful book. Hours of entertainment and fun for adults and very young babies. Lots of detailed drawings outlining a gently humourous view of English life that transcends national boundaries. Faintly nostalgic, beautifully observed, and beyond peers in publishing for the very young. If any body tells you your newborn cannot see details, this book will prove them wrong.

3.0 out of 5 stars Average book
I bought this book for my 3 year old, but she is not interested in it at all. I think it would have been better when she was younger as it's just pictures and no story. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars I Love This Book!
The story goes that the Ahlbergs wrote this after despairing that their daughter was only interested in reading the Mothercare catalogue. Read more
