The most special book ever! July 30, 2008
This book is absolutely beautiful! It made both my husband and I cry (that doesn't happen often!). The words spoke to me as a mommy and the way I feel about my sweet baby. It also has beautiful illustrations. The dancing polar bears are my fave! You have to get this book!!
A great book for any child to have! July 25, 2008
I first picked up this book at a book fair at a school I was working at recently. The beautiful artwork on the cover was what drew me in. As I opened the book and began to read I was very impressed with how beautiful the pages' illuistrations were. Even more beautiful were the poetic words the author uses to describe how one's name came to be "on the night you were born". I think that any child would love to hear this story before bedtime or even just cuddling with their parents. It makes the child feel special in knowing that this beautiful story describes how they came to be. As an artist I can really appreciate the illustrations that are so vibrantly painted upon each page. I would recommend this book from birth to upper elementary. It would be a great gift for new parents to read to their new child.
great for baby's bookshelf June 28, 2008
Ive received several baby shower invites over the last couple of years that ask for a "book for the bab's bookshelf". I love this book because it has great pictures and tells the child that on the night he/she was born the whole world celebrated. When the child is a little older and you read them the story, it even asks you to "wiggle your toes" and other small directions that are fun because the book becomes interactive. Fun book :)
a choice you will not be sorry you made... May 31, 2008
WOW, do I love this book! On a good day, it gives me chills. On a better day, well, the tears might start flowing! Beautiful, beautiful prose. Enchanting illustrations with little surprises hidden in them. Beautiful, rhyming verse with very special meaning. I first ordered this as a birthday gift for a relative and have since ordered it again and again, for my daughter for her upcoming birthday, and for other friends and relatives. I even ordered a back-up copy- I always like to give books as gifts and this makes such a special gift! You won't be sorry with this selection!
Wonderful for all ages! May 19, 2008
I was given this precious book for my new granddaughter. On my own birthday my husband mentioned he forgot a card, and I asked him to read this book to me! I felt so loved and honored, and have continued the tradition of reading this to other dear ones of all ages. A priceless gift!
