--This text refers to the Hardcover edition.PreS-Young listeners will appreciate this gentle rhyme that portrays babies with their families and friends being drawn into everyday activities. The lilting text recites the eating, sleeping, and leisure habits of a winsome cast of multicultural tykes, but, most of all, it impresses on readers how much they are loved. Expressive, animated pencil-and-watercolor paintings depict a full range of infant motions and emotions that bring this ensemble to life. The clear double-page spreads usually contain one large or several smaller scenes against lots of white space. The facial expressions in several scenes are particularly captivating and endearing. This delightful homage to the youngest among us should be a hit at toddler storytimes, and the book will be great for individual sharing because there is a certain amount of very basic seek-and-find potential fun to be had in poring over the illustrations. Everywhere Babies should be in every preschool collection.-Rosalyn Pierini, San Luis Obispo City-County Library, CA

A book for babies who love babies,
By PsychGal "PsychGal" (Ottawa, ON, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Everywhere Babies (Board book)
My son (who is 15 months old) loves babies! This book immediately became one of his favorites because of the many beautifully drawn pictures of babies in all sorts of day-to-day scenarios. I love that the images show a variety of family composition types and cultural groups. My son loves to look at each page and point out what type of activity each baby is engaged in - he often goes back to this book in his own play time to look through the pictures without me. It's a great learning tool - one that I am sure will elicit conversation even after he's no longer a baby himself.This little book is definitely worth putting into your storytime rotation!

Another glowing review,
By Rachel Walker (Kirkwood, Missouri United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Everywhere Babies (Hardcover)
Although this book has received kudos from almost every reviewer, I had to throw in my thoughts as well. My two year old son loves this book. We received it as part of a book-of-the-month club and it has become one of his favorites. I remember commenting on how the artist captured so many aspects of everyday baby life. I point out to my son the type of front-pack and stroller we used, they Gymboree type equipment and the bucket swing. He gets a kick out of recognizing things in the pictures. I also enjoy the diversity displayed in this book. It is an important lesson to pass on to children and having a wonderful book like this as a tool is great!

Our favorite book,
By Tuesday "jennbatt" (Phoenix, AZ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Everywhere Babies (Hardcover)
I bought this book for my baby boy when he was about 10 months old. He is now 16 months old and this is our favorite book. We read it many times a day, as he is always bringing it to me. Luckily, it's a book that parents don't easily tire of -- it has simple, singsong text and lots of pictures to talk about. The illustrations are perfect for an emerging talker, as I ask my baby to point to various objects he is familiar with. He loves to find the balls and the dogs. The book really caught my attention because it depicts all kinds of families, and being an alternative family, this was important to me. I point out to my children (I also have a 4-year-old) the different kinds of parents in this book, and the different races. I also love how the book shows lots of animals. It's a very life affirming, all-embracing story and it is our favorite book in a vast & ponderous library of children's books!
