It's been my go-to baby shower present ever since I used it with my kids. Common sense advice about every little thing there is to know about newborns done in a calming, empowering manner with none of the OMG YOUR BABY WILL DIE!!!! scariness or preachy judgements.

Also "Dear Zoo" with its flaps and animals being not right pets is great. And we do "Where's Spot" and boast that it features baby's first plot twist -- I really didn't see that turtle coming!Amy Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01658219251046119026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-522319810296642659.post-43284258162801372682014-09-16T09:57:49.276-05:002014-09-16T09:57:49.276-05:00Love You Forever, Guess How Much I Love You and Ru...Love You Forever, Guess How Much I Love You and Runaway Bunny.
