Customer Reviews

Book quality is HORRIBLE

This was a free book BUT it looks like they gave me a terrible copy… there is water damage and some pages are taped together.. I still read it to my newborn because I love this book but I’ll have to purchase a better copy. The actual book is a 5 star… the condition is a 2 star🤷🏾‍♀️

Love it

Relatable for both kids and parents. This book tells of the wildness in the day of a parent, in a sweet way

Again, Please, Mommy, Please?

This book has sweet, rhyming text with an Afican American flavor (Keep off the wall, please, baby, please!). The illustrations are incredibly realistic, and I especially appreciate the endearing expressions on the toddler in this story. Her expressions of delight, stubborn defiance, and wonder are familiar to anyone who has ever loved or parented a one-year old. Best of all, my own children (ages 1 1/2 and 3 1/2) love this story and ask to read it again and again (Please, Mommy, please!). If your own library lacks quality literature featuring ethnically diverse main characters, I highly recommend this one.

Two Year Old Attention Grabber

My two-year old daughter and four year old nephew love this book! There are items to count, colors to name, and of course the wonderful rythym of "please, baby, please." The illustrations are wonderful! The child in the picture could easily be a boy or girl, and the daily routines of the child in the book are similar to any toddler child's busy day. I will share this book for a long time!

Love this book!

Of the dozen or so books my book-loving two-year-old got for Christmas, this is by far his favorite. I think it's the sweetest, funniest book I've seen in a long time! The words are simple but introduce concepts of rhythm and repetition without being obvious about it, and the illustrations are just fantastic.

My kids love this book!

Rarely does my 2-year old sit through a reading of a whole book. This one he does! And my 3-year old as well. They love chanting "Please, baby, please!" and the other variations of that phrase throughout the book. The story is fun and something that both my kids and I can relate to - an adorable toddler getting into trouble. The combination of excellent writing and beautiful illustrations make this a huge hit with my family!
