I read this book and I hear Spike Lee in my head. This is a very good thing for a celebrity author. So often celebrity authors sound like they‘ve been ghost written. This does not sound that way. Between the repetitiveness and the change up of the “please baby please” line the other thing that is done well is the simple concepts. The illustrator does a masterful job illustrating the words that show different points in a very

5 ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ This book starts with a child asking their parent to tell them about the night they were born. it goes through the child being born and picked up and how special it was because the child is adopted. This helps normalize adoption. It‘s not a scary thing, it‘s what it is, and it‘s its own special view of how you came into the world. There are fabulous illustrations, and this is a forever classic by Jayme Lee Curtis.

#Celebrityauthor.

Old-school illustrations, and a story that isn‘t the easiest to get your tongue round - some of the sentences don‘t quite scan as they should. BUT…

I may use it for a bounce and rhyme session nonetheless. Lots of animal noises, a few actions, and quite a bit of silliness.

Not a celebrity author, but I needs a Q! #BBRC

4 ⭐Out of the three books in this series, so far this is the best. There is a little more thought and a little bit more work. There is a rhyming pattern. There is a cadence and it‘s like a modern head, shoulders, knees, and toes. The illustrations work well and for the first time in the series, not doing all the heavy lifting, but rather complementing the words on the page.

4 ⭐ I am used to Lucy Kinsley writing graphic novels, but her take on a picture book is quite cute. Everything rhymes and works well together. The message is spot on. And the illustrations are interesting. Babies are sure to love it.

My babygirl is officially 2 months old! I'm already sobbing she's getting so big so fast I hate/love it.

“The soldiers played cards and blew smoke out the open windows. They talked to Pop and how they would soon be shipped overseas any day now and were missing that girl of mine already, and my grandma's apple pie.“

This book makes many historical connections to what life was like during World War 2. During this time many people encountered economic challenges. Many women went to work while their husbands served, leaving many children without consistent adult supervision. This also made it hard for single mothers which may have been why the baby was left on the staircase. This story helps students understand economic hardships, fear, and loss of loved ones.
