One
in a pair of gender specific baby board books, this title uses simple text
alongside delightful softly coloured sketches of a very young boy going about
what comprises every baby’s day. All
pictures will be easily identified with by any child and the book begins
by showing how each day starts with waking before having a nappy change.
Breakfast
is followed by getting dressed and playtime takes baby till lunch time. Baby’s
nap is followed by a walk before visiting with an older child. The day draws to
a close with dinner, bathing, a story and a cuddle before bed.
Not
only do the whimsical and very appealing pastels show much emotion and wonder
as baby makes his way through his day, they also provide plenty of well thought
out detail that ensures the illustrations will be happily marvelled over again
and again.
While
the publisher states that one of the books is for boys and one is for girls, parents
and preschools may consider reading them as a pair, one after the other, to help
reinforce that while genders may be a point of difference, boys and girls are very
much the same on the whole.
