Please, Baby, Please (Classic Board Books)

Our daughter LOVED this book when she was a toddler. I'm sure she found all of this baby's antics very relatable (stopping to look at "fluffies" - or dandelions in particular!). The illustrations are absolutely beautiful and the story is perfect for a toddler's attention span. Now I purchase this book for anyone who is expecting.

I love this book. I did not realize it came in this size. This hard baby book size. It’s adorable

I’ve worked in childcare for many years and this book is ALWAYS a hit. Hands down #1 must have. The illustrations are gorgeous, too.

I purchased this for our 1 year old daughter's growing library! My partner and I are of Indian ancestry, and we are Canadians, so having books that mirror the multiculturalism we live in, is important. Most children's books showcase characters like 'Jack' and 'Jill' and they are usually representing someone of British ancestry. This keeps supporting the late 1800's and early 1900's philosophy that Canada (and the US) are 'white' nations. We have been selective in finding books that represent diversity and also showcase girls and women through a broader range than Disney's fairytale princesses. This book definitely delivered on many fronts! Having representation of an African ancestry family, with the central character 'baby' behaving like any child, across cultures, was important as many multiculture books will showcase characters only in the context of a specific culture... Like an Indian ancestry child wanting to try on her mother's saris. I still think those books are important because they help locate specific cultural issues as normal, as everyday, as valuable because they are in books, but we also need books that showcase 'ethnic' ancestry characters doing everyday things like swimming, playing catch at the park, doing homework ... We know 'Jack and Jill' do their homework but so do Gilat, Rahim, Priya, Mumtaz, Wen Shing, Chin etc! This book highlights that important issue and depicts a cute little girl, whose parents have to plead 'please baby please' to stop doing this or that! And the repetition of please baby please is great for kids to follow along! The illustrations are wonderful. Realistic, but playful. Tonya Lewis Lee and Spike Lee did a great job! We need more books that represent our rich diversity! Two mummy thumbs up!

What a perfect little treasure! Reading it and enjoying Kadir Nelson's absolutely beautiful artwork makes me just downright happy. I just received it today and am going to order additional copies right now . This makes a wonderful gift for anyone - children, those with children and those without!

Adorable board book!! The pictures are colorful and cute and the storyline is sweet and silly. Highly recommend for any little one.

Absolutely love this book. The illustrations are adorable as well as the story. Unfortunately when I received my book, the spine was sort of smashed and slanted in a weird way. I was hoping it'd go back into place after a few times of reading but it hasn't. Other than that- happy with my purchase!

Bought this book for my infant classroom for more inclusive reading and cute story telling. The babies enjoyed it(

My 8 month old absolutely loves this book. When I get to the second to last page where the baby gets out of bed for a kiss, he has a HUGE smile and stares at me until the last page when he loses it completely. It is the sweetest thing. One great thing about this book is it is all things your baby can actually relate to because it's the day-to-day life of a baby (eating, park, bath, playtime, diaper, etc). Even for a tiny baby, I think they relate to each page. And the illustrations are works of art.

please,baby,please なんといっても、個性溢れるbabyの表情が最高！英語が得意な方じゃなくても十分に楽しめる文章とbabyの動き。おもわず読みながら自分の表情がゆるんでしまいます。作者が黒人映画監督のスパイク・リーと奥様のト－ニャ。子育ては手がかかるけど、愛情はいっぱい！この絵本は、子供のみならず大人も楽しめる暖かい作品です。please! 是非お試しあれ。

Pour mon petit de 19 mois, il aime déjà.

Not a good book. The words don’t flow. It’s a bad read. They really could have done better.

I will forever be great to this book because it my daughters first attempt to reading and she read it so well. Love the silliness and words use by the author will definitely recommend for a good read
