Great for non-traditional families
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
A beautiful book that is great for anyone, but particularly nice for gay and lesbian families, single parent families, or others who don't fit the mom-dad norm. I had a lot of trouble finding a baby book that didn't keep talking about "Dad." This is it, and it's really lovely too. The one downside is that it's not as big and heavy-duty as some- probably not suitable for pasting photos in, for example.
A Beautiful Keepsake
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I bought this book a couple of months ago, based on the positive ratings I'd read about it and I'm so glad I did! The images are absolutely beautiful, and there is ample space to write down memories, based on the prompts the author provides, as well as other things of your choosing. It's especially great if you're not really a fan of the usual "fill in the blank" style baby book, or if you want something else to going along side your other baby book...which allows you to go into more detail about things, or talk about topics of your own choosing. I can't wait to fill mine in!
A joy to fill out!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I really enjoyed filling out this journal. I didn't start until my son was just over a year, but in a few hours I was able to jot down lots of notes from memory and fill it most of the way out. McClure includes thought-provoking questions on some pages while leaving most of the pages blank (with only the month denoted) for free-form writing. Her art is simple and heartwarming and adds an element of fun and class to the journal. After I added a few pictures here and there it seems complete, even though I don't have every white space filled out. Please know, a 4x6 picture fills up most of a page, so there isn't a lot of room for pictures. I am using this book in conjunction with a photo keepsake book. Also, you should be aware that about half of the journal covers month 0-24 and the other half is for jotting down "firsts" and the songs you sing, books you read together, drawings, and other inspiring things.
Gorgeous alternative baby book

Get this for any artists or musicians you know who are having a baby. The book has a poetic tone and lots of space for writing in comments far more personal and sweet than the typical height/weight/tooth stuff. Beautiful!
Love this journal

The size of this journal is the perfect size. It is small enought to put in most purses to take it on the go and journal when you get a chance. Love the illustrations and how it is organized.
