Is This the Best Baby Book Ever?

When you call something “the best ever” it’s got to be good. Smucker’s kind of good.

Good news: the upcoming book from David Milgrim is like a jelly sandwich. Sweet, kind of sticky but ultimately satisfying. The Best Baby Ever is the second of two baby books from Penguin’s juvenile line to hit the shelves this summer and hit baby shower must-buy lists.

The tale of a baby who is pretty darn good but grows pretty darn fast, it’s simple and repetitive like the best books for reading to baby, but it carries enough of a story line to keep The Best Baby Ever on the shelves as your kids grow along with the baby in the book. It will hit shelves on July 9, so pre-order from Amazon.

And while you’re over there, you might want to pick up a copy of All Baby Nose to Toes. New to shelves this month, it’s another book that manages the feat of being baby and toddler-appropriate with Victoria Adler’s fresh approach to the same old body book genre and Hiroe Nakata’s oh-so-cute illustrations. It’s a mystery – who loves baby’s toes? How about his nose? Fill them in on body language and the language of love. Get it at Amazon.

Get them for your next baby shower and get reading.
