"This sweet story captures all the major highlights of a child's first two years. The illustrations lend a dream-like quality to the narrative and capture the joy the parents feel when their child achieves a new milestone. Told from the perspective of the baby using rhyming text, this is a wonderful read aloud for parents and babies to share." - Sarah Carrier, Children's Librarian, Cincinnati Public Library
