Review
Destined to be a favorite of families awaiting new arrivals this new book is a winner. From the cover illustration to the final page the text speaks the truth and the illustrations capture a new baby household. A tired nursing mom devotes all her loving attention to one baby while love struck grandparents play hand rhymes with another. Love radiates on each page where sweet babies are the focus. The unique layout featuring several pages of many colored dots adds space to the text and seems to open the visual appreciation of the illustrations. Each page expresses daily routine and presents the gradual development of the infants. The fact that the babies are multicultural and that various family members are shown increases the value of the book in the eyes of the reader. Defiantly a perfect book for new mothers and a great gift to families with older siblings. Public Librarians will want this book in their collections. Littles and How They Grow will not stay on library shelves long as the cover illustration of three bundles of joy screams for attention.
Overall Book Score: very good
