I love the <i>concept</i>, but the book is full of fail: racism, the-noble-brown-savage, homophobia (blame the mother style!), etc. I did get a lot out of it, but I also spent the two days I first read it scribbling in the margins, ranting about it (rather a lot, to the extend The Man refused to read it after that), and occasionally hurling it at a wall. I generally recommend Our Babies, Ourselves as something of a substitute, but I really wish someone would just write a modern book on the good parts of the concept without all the garbage of the original.

It is designed to help Parents improve the experience of reading to their babies and toddlers. I found it to be a fun and nurturing book of rhymes that tell Baby just why he or she is so lovable. Adorable book.

With that there would be links to reviews of each book and it would be easily sortable by title, author, rating etc. :) A place that’s brilliant for cataloguing your books that I think would be brilliant for your parenting library is LibraryThing.
