From Booklist:
PreS. If there's one pastime that most babies and toddlers enjoy, it's watching other babies and toddlers. This lively picture book provides that pleasure without the bother of arranging a play date. The short, rhyming text lists all kinds of babies: "There are babies who like teddies, / there are babies who like muddles, / there are babies who like bathtimes, / there are babies who like cuddles." Each refrain appears on a separate page along with an illustration that spotlights one or two babies hugging teddy bears, making a mess, taking a bath, or cuddling together. The clean page design, warm colors, and well-drawn babies make each picture an engaging opportunity to look at, talk about, or simply enjoy. The racial mix of characters broadens the book's appeal. The last double-page spread spotlights the baby that the reader loves best; it features a Mylar mirror along with the punch line: "YOU!" This playful ending springs naturally from the book's consistently light, sunny tone. Young children and their parents will find this short, simple picture book irresistible. Carolyn Phelan
