Good reviews
My 8-year-old son decided to buy this book after reading it. Why would a third-grade boy like a picture book that depicts a baby's growth process? And he laughed heartily while reading. The same paragraphs were read over and over again and mentioned again and again. He looks exactly like the one-and-a-half-year-old child in the book. Now he is the same as when he was one and a half years old, he will spit out his food and won't clean up. But after reading this book, I have improved a lot. It is really a great picture book. ──(Little Man in the Forest, 7th grade mother)
It has been 10 years since my son was one and a half years old. Looking at the picture book, the scenes of that year reappeared before my eyes. I have read this picture book over and over again and still find it very funny. ──(Red Panda Owl Mother, 7th Grade Mother)
Daily parenting life is tiring, but after reading this picture book, my mind changed. The time I spend with my children will be a precious memory for me in the future. (Daughter 0 years old)
