The Baby's Book of Babies (Picture Puffins)
My daughter is 22 months old. She has always had board books, but we just introduced her to picture books. This was the first one SHE picked out at the library. Her reaction when she saw it was priceless, "Babyyyyyyyy!!" Since getting it a week ago, we have easily read it 3 dozen times. Each time, my daughter LOVES pointing out the babies and has even started trying to say the verse on each page. The verse is wonderful (my husband likes it but says it doesn't rhyme very well) and very creative. All the photographs are very realistic and full of action. A great book for any child age 6 months to 24 months.
The Baby's Book of Babies (Picture Puffins)
Great photographs, simple joyous text, thick glossy pages and an adorable group of multicultural babies creates a book for the earliest months of a child's reading life. This was far and away my daughter's favorite book of the 20-30 we had during her baby months. It would be a great addition to any parent's wish list. I hope it goes back into print.
Pink Think: Becoming a Woman in Many Uneasy Lessons
I was a little disappointed by this book. I found the subject matter really interesting, and Peril has done a good job gathering information from all kinds of sources. Peril puts very little of herself into the book, though. I would have liked to see a bit more theory or application. The early chapters indicate the blueprint that is to be followed throughout the rest of the book and there is very little development from then on.
Pink Think: Becoming a Woman in Many Uneasy Lessons
This book was witty and a great reference for all things mid-century and female-oriented, but beyond that wasn't much of anything. Homosexuality is never really covered in regards to women and doesn't really analyze or comment on things or even try to understand the why behind it: the book is just sarcastic in a rather juvenile sense. The best part of the whole book is when Peril indicts Betty Friedan for being a part of the pink think problem.I actually got the impression from the book that if you happen to be a contemporary female who is feminine, you're evil. And that is sad.
