Hip board book for urban dwellers,
By Jen (Ottawa, ON Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Urban Babies Wear Black (Board book)
This has to be the best board book I have read in a while! I work as a librarian in a trendy area, and it so reflects the activities and lifestyle of the hip hot mama set in my neighbourhood. Gap babies, Running room joggers, yoga and more. If you know someone with a baby - tell them to get this book!Unless of course they are totally lacking in a sense of humour about being a "yuppie".

Simply Delightful!,
By M. McChesney - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Urban Babies Wear Black (Board book)
As a mother of two in Seattle, and owner of this book, I think that it is a sweet depiction of child-rearing in the city. I was actually just going online to purchase another copy for a friend's shower next week. I am surprised that some of these reviewers see this small book with only twenty words as an entire indictment of the upper middle class. I don't know how taking your child to a coffee shop or a museum makes you "obnoxious" and/or "pretentious". I would say it that it is a fair statement to say that parents everywhere want the best for their children - for them to be well cared-for and well-educated - what should be considered loathsome about that?

Odious Tripe,
By Frank John Oconnor "Frankie" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Urban Babies Wear Black (Board book)
This worthless little shopping list of things that the author likes to do in New York, has very little to offer the children it's allegedly "written" for. I throw those airquotes because the language in this book is literally a list of activities, ascribed to a mythical child:"Urban babies attend the Ballet." There's no rhyme, humor, cadence, fun or alliteration. It's simply a bullet point description of things it's feasible to do in Manhattan. The illustrations, while clever and cool, serve only to reinforce the worthlessness of the prose. And some of the illustrations are a little too complex for infants to focus on. In short, it's the kind of cold, soulless husk of a children's book you'd expect Anna Wintour to write. A pointless collection of idiot snobbery with no redeeming value whatsoever. The artist should team up with a writer who isn't a self-absorbed snob with no real understanding of why infants like to be read to in the first place. And while urban babies may indeed wear black, you'd think they'd enjoy some color and vibrancy in their lives too. They won't find it this book unless you change all the "lyrics" and tell a slightly more fun story yourself. 13 of 17 people found the following review helpful
