Everywhere Babies lap board book Board book – Picture Book, June 13, 2011

I give this book to the grandbabies of my book loving friends. It has made a banned book list and i believe everyone should read banned books. It has sweet artwork showing babies doing baby activities. Its a great board book.

Adorable gift for a one year old. Exactly what the parents asked for. Nice glossy pages. So cute.

This is a very sweet book for infants and young toddlers. It has a rhythm and repeated phrases that is appealing to little ones, and has interesting pictures for them to think about what all the little babies are doing. It also shows families with different appearances and members, representing diversity. This is one of my go to gifts for baby showers.

Sweet text, beautiful illustrations. I've bought several as gifts for tiny humans.

"Everywhere Babies" is as close to a perfect board book as I've found. For years, we read this book every night to my children, and the rhyme and rhythm of this book is so great, we memorized it easily (useful for exhausted parents!). The rhyming works without some of the tortured grammar twisting that many authors have to resort to.This is not a story book, more of a concept book, and the author leaves plenty of room for the illustrator to take the book to the next level. The illustrations by Marla Frazee are adorable, and reflect a wide range of babies and their adults. There's enough going on in the vignettes that even a toddler can stay engaged in this book, and is a book that would be ideal to keep around for an older child learning to read. The illustrations provide plenty to discuss with a curious child. There are representations of many races and family situations, which is a lovely and welcome part of this book.This book is a great baby shower gift for parents, or even for a one- or two-year-old's birthday. Wrap it up with a swaddle blanket and you are all set!

This is a beautiful book that I loved reading to my children and that I have given many times as a baby gift. One of the things I liked (that other reviewers have not always appreciated) is the diversity of those pictured in the book -- different ages, different races.As some negative reviews have pointed out, there are some men or women seen together -- these can be but need not be interpreted as same-sex couples. If you are not ready to explain to your children that some babies have two daddies (which is a fact about the actual world) then just say those guys sitting together are friends watching their kids play at the playground. What's the big deal? But for those of us who want our children's books to reflect real life -- which has a variety of people in it, some of whom look like you and some of whom do not -- this is a great book.

I gave this a 4 star for one reason. There are a couple of drawings of babies that could seem a bit scary to my grandsons (a baby wailing with gaping mouth). But otherwise a clever book with good artwork

This book has become a keepsake at our house, even now that the "baby" is 6 years old and the big sister 10. Many childrens' books about babies focus on the potential jealousy and strife caused by the new infant in the house. This one focuses on all the fascinating, joyous and often hilarious details of baby-ness, from what they wear to how they eat and get around, and how they vocalize. The illustrations are so funny and sweet, and filled with a very satisfying array of grown ups that look real - all sizes, genders, colors and ages. As the book progresses (the original full length version, I haven't seen the board book) the babies grow and finally reach a beautiful first birthday. I think this book is wonderful for kids about to become older siblings, because it gives them endless details to observe as they take notice of babies "everywhere" in the world around them, and so much fun to anticipate when their new baby comes. I say that, and yet when I tried to give our copy to a family in just that situation, the two big kids in our house refused to part with it. Hence my purchase of a new one.

I took a cue from my niece who was obsessed with this book as a toddler and bought it for a friend for her baby shower. Baby loved it too! Now every single friend of mine gets this book as part of this baby sower gift. It’s simple, fun to look at and a great conversation starter with the kids.

Je recommande ce livre il est juste parfait. Sur chaque page il y a un descriptif de ce que les bébés peuvent faire, font du bruit, comment ils sont aimés, comment ils sont habillés, comment ils jouent, etc .

Very engaging book. My one year old just loves it and totally relates to it.

The media could not be loaded. Hermosisimo libro para bebés con ilustraciones muy tiernas. Habla sobre la vida cotidiana de los bebés y trae una calcomanía para automóvil de regalo. No me di cuenta cuando lo pedí que es mucho más grande que lo que suelen ser los libro de cartón para bebés y me parece genial. El material es de muy buena calidad, se ve duradero.

A mi bebé de 15 meses le encanta. Los dibujos son pequeños, llenos de detalles. Lo que más me ha llamado la atención es el hincapié que hace el libro en mostrar todo tipo de familias, lo que me parece muy enriquecedor. Las ilustraciones de Marla Frazee son preciosas. Lo recomiendo.
