This is a pleasant baby album, which features art from famous painters, mostly Mary Cassatt. The album has gray calligraphy style type, and pretty detailing in the top corners of pages with text. It focuses on the first year of life. My criticism is that it seeks too much detail about baby; e.g. the weather on the first birthday, and when baby first put beads in a box. This book is best for people who notice such things, and want to record them.
