Explanation Supposing Books Global Babies

I checked this book out because my son adores the other book in the series, American Babies (reviewed here). Unfortunately, we still have American Babies checked out because he asks for it by name. I fear we are going to have to buy a copy.

Anyway, I much prefer Global Babies. The text is your run of the mill I-want-to-poke-my-head-with-a-fork type of board book, rather than the I-want-to-embed-this-fork-in-my-brain-NO-WAIT-in-the-author's-brain kind of board book that American Babies was. Bonus points for not featuring babies with boogers.

The edition I checked out is bilingual with Spanish/English on each page describing the babies from all over the world. The babies are as diverse as their clothing, with the Thailand baby in some kind of ceremonial headdress, while the Fiji baby is just in a tshirt. I like the book. Better text, better pictures, two languages, and you have a winner in my book. Unfortunately my son loathes this book. Try to offer it to him and you'll get a disdainful "no." Try to offer it to him when he is asking for American Babies, and he will take this book away from you.

This leads me to uncomfortable conclusions about what kind of baby we are raising, and perhaps we need to get out and about more beyond family gatherings and library story times.

I'm giving it two stars because while I like it, the most important person does not.

Mama still calls us her babies, which clearly we no longer are at almost 2 years old. I am currently obsessed with babies, so this book was a fave for me. Amaré couldn't care less, savage that he is. Enjoyed pointing at all the babies and looking at their little faces and their clothes. Mama kept trying to make me say the names of the countries that the babies are from. Needless to say I'm not quite there yet lady calm down!

A board book with pictures of babies from around the globe (include two babies from the USA - one white and the other Native American). The photos would be more effective if the layout and the framing of the photographs were more uniform and/or if the designers just focused on the face/top part of the baby.

Love that the two were included for USA. Both European American and Native American.

Very cute book that I would use to show multiculturalism. I love the message associated with this book and I feel it's something we should definitely teach children at a young age. As a teaching idea, after reading this book you can have the children draw and share different things that they believe makes them special.

I saw this on Parent Picks on Nickelodeon's Parents Connect, so I grabbed it when it was on display at the library. As promised, the photographs were excellent. Lots of cute babies. I especially liked the ones of the babies in slings and the one of the baby with the fur lined hood. The variety in countries was good, though I wished there had been something like Canada, Britain, or Australia; Russia; and a Scandinavian country. A very blond or red head child would have added to the variety in my

Intended audience or age: baby-preschoolEach page of this board book features a photograph of a baby, each labeled with its country. The accompanying text describes how babies everywhere are special and loved.The text is somewhat predictable, but in a way that is soothingly repetitive and suited to babies who couldn't understand the text. It could also work for a slightly older child who wants to look through the book alone. The geographic identifiers on each photo could also be used to
