Incredible!!! This is a must buy. This book is so great, my grand children love it. I will buy more copies for my friends' children. I like it much better than Shades of black (or whatever the name is).
Our whole family loves this book! We first saw this book at the library when my daughter was 5. I fell in love with it & had to buy it for her. It may be more appropriate for younger children, but she enjoys having it read to her, and I enjoy reading it. The pictures are beautiful. The descriptions of so many babies of varying shades and shapes are all very loving, affirming, and fun! My daugher likes to figure out which delicious flavor she is! This is a fantastic book.
Wonderful Book. My little one Loves to hear and look. This is a fabulous book. I bought it when my daughter was only 4 months old. I have been reading it to her ever since; she is now 19 months. Everytime I say get a book she brings this one. She loves the pictures and the expressions I make when I read it to her. She especially loves the expressions: "Bubbles babies belly" or "Shakes like a bowl of jelly" and then we both shake together. "Honey Color Hands" and then we wiggle our fingers and etc. So in additon to reading you must bring the simple words to life for your child to enjoy it. Its awesome and excellent.

OK, but Shades of Black is better Yes, the photos in this book are beautiful but I prefer the book "Shades of Black". This book, to me, seems like it copied the concept of Shades of Black and the words lack substance in my opinion. I bought this book for my daughter, wanting to fill her library with images of black children. This book is so boring, even I don't want to read it. I'll keep it because she likes the pictures and the colors...otherwise I'd probably sell it.
