Everywhere Babies Lap Board Book

This is my absolute favourite book to read to my child. It has a few American-isms which might annoy some, but I just change the words (e.g diaper). It's a lovely story about all of the things babies get up to and do. My child loves looking at the illustrations which represent a wide range of family types and care-givers who are mentioned in the story too. If you are a family who is not a "typical" make up it is a great thing to see your family represented this book - not just for yourself, but for your kids too. Even if you aren't, what a great way to introduce your children to diverse family structures and ethnicity.

The best thing about this book is that when you are reading it your baby is enjoying the beautiful pictures and clever rhymes but you can enjoy the camaraderie of the adults in the pictures going through the same things that you are and knowing that it’s not all rosey and you’re not alone. Especially helpful during a pandemic!

The book itself was a fairly nice story, but the pages were all stuck together so subsequently tore a little when pulling them apart.

Beautiful illustrations.I thought they were a bit complicated but my daughter says 'Babies are very clever'

As noted in previous posts, it's an American book using American English (which was fine by me since I'm an American in London). It's my go to new baby gift. The illustration capture the varied types of families that babies are born into, and I appreciate that the babies came in all shapes, sizes and colors - more childrens books need this.

Nice rhythm to the book which makes it enjoyable for little ears :)

Another favourite. I love the message behind this story

My 2 year old absolutely loves this book. Beautifully illustrated with diverse families, it always provides lots of details to talk about beyond the lovely rhyming text. Stands up well to the baby's mauling as well as the toddler's reading.
