My First Book Of Tracing (Kumon Workbooks) 11 reviews
Kumon Publishing North America, 2004
Highly recommend
I have a preschooler with fine motor delays and he HATES to do anything which requires use of his hands. I was told by his teachers that this will lead to issues in school when he is expected to write and participate in art projects. If he can't write, it will affect his academic future.
Therapy provided only so much help, as he was frustrated with the tasks. But then I learned about ...

Love You Forever 779 reviews
Robert Munsch
Firefly Books Ltd., 1995
A touching book
I gave this book to my son when he turned forty. He called me and told me how much it meant to him and how it made him cry. My son is a 6'3 Army Ranger Instructor and very few things have made him cry., trust me. I heard this book the first time when in church, our preacher pulled up a rocking chair on Mother's day and read it to us. I knew I had to have it. I hope all of you who read it are ...

First Meals (New Expanded Edition)171 reviews
Annabel Karmel
DK ADULT, 2004
Excellent!
My pediatritian recommended this book, and although I'm using a lot of Earth's Best, I have tried a couple of recipes and my daughter loves them. The only thing I didn't like is that it doesn't specify when you should give them each food (specifically) ,it just says starting at "17 weeks".

Denise Fields, Ari Brown
Windsor Peak Press, 2007
A Must-Have Book!
My wife and I recently had twins and these were our first children. There were some complications as well and the whole experience was very overwhelming. We read probably 10 or more books and nothing can compare to this book. It has the answer or explanation for every question we had. They should give this book away to all new parents at the hospital. Buy it now!

Your Baby's First Year (Second Edition)39 reviews
American Academy Of Pediatrics
Bantam, 2004
Highly recommended!
As a father, I have had to put up with several books that are "meant" for dads. In Norway, that means having to read through a lot of semi-funny and useless knowledge.
This book is exactly what I have been looking for!
It is to the point and easy to read, with a good reference section. Covers everything I wanted to know. Highly recommended for all parents!

Pat the Bunny (Touch and Feel Book)153 reviews
Dorothy Kunhardt
Golden Books, 2001
attracts attention - a timeless classic
This little book which I bought on impulse turned out to be the best of the activity books for my son, now 13 months old. He is easily distracted and this book (coupled with his father's additional stories about the bunny) helps him stay focused and stimulates imagination. It is also very helpful at the evening meals, when he is so fascinated that even the tiredness does not make him fuss over ...

Light and Humorous.
We're expecting a baby in less than a month. The pregnancy has been normal and uneventful, but it's a difficult time for a couple and a little levity is in order. Another couple suggested we read the book "Belly Laughs: The Naked Truth About Pregnancy and Childbirth" by Jenny McCarthy. It was a quick and easy read and provided a lot of insightful laughs. I reviewed the book and gave it five ...

Mango Media, 2006
A planner for the mom that loves to plan
I am a Planner - I plan every second of my day. Not knowing what to expect or plan for in pregnancy really freaked me out. I love this Organizer and carry it with me everywhere I go. My nurses have all been impressed with how many details I have in it. I have used for the last seven months and I love it. I am buying three more copies today to give to my girlfriends who are pregnant.

Amy Meyer Allen
Wedding Solutions, 2002
Trully a beautiful baby journal!
I can't be more pleased with the baby journal. It has a good binding, fun stuffs, beautiful graphics, and my most favorite part is that is has wonderful quotation, both from famous people and from the bible! I love it! I love it! It's good to get it while you're still pregnant (I'm 8 months pregnant now) as the journal has stuffs to fill out before the birth of the baby.

Love it!
My almost 2 year old and I just love this book. We make up our own story to it (it doesn't have any words), and it changes a little bit here and there. But I like that because I can point out different aspects of the situation to her. I like that it shows the mom breast feeding and dad helping out since that is similar to our situation. She loves it and I have seen her mimic it (holding the ...

My Very First Mother Goose35 reviews
Candlewick, 1996
My very favorite Mother Goose book
Publisher's Weekly called this book "exuberant" and that's exactly the right word for it. Bright primary colors make up this book, and Rosemary Wells' adorable characters populate the rhymes. Unlike some Mother Goose books, this one is meaty -- it boasts 108 pages, with a rhyme on almost every page. That's a lot of nights of Mother Goose at bedtime.
Nursery rhymes help build phonological ...
