PreS The soft baby colorspink, blue, yellow, and greenof these watercolors set just the right mood for this small chronicle of young life: "baby's first pillow/ baby's first socks/ baby's first books/ baby's first blocks." The picture book's easy chant and familiar items will delight babies and toddlers. Mom and dad appear on many pages, clearly pleased with their growing child's adventures, each helping out, until at year's end they all celebrate with a cake, candle, and warm hug. New families with very small children are sure to love this pretty book, and preschoolers will be encouraged to talk about their own first words, first fears, first party, first year. The lemon yellow and blue cover with a baby's picture will easily move this one off the shelves. Anna Biagioni Hart, Sherwood Regional Library, Alexandria, Va.

From Publishers Weekly
A catalogue of "firsts" for a baby, from that initial day and night through milestones like the first smile, crawl, step, and fall, to the celebration of the first birthday. This is a pleasing, rhythmic litany of the events and activities that make up a baby's universe. The accompanying illustrations are often gently humorous and always affectionate; they aptly extend the spare text, filling in the details of a baby's family and surroundings with warmth. Young ones will enjoy the focus on the particulars of their world and will follow with avid interest the progression from newborn infant to busy toddler. Ages 1-3.
