You’re My Little Sweet Pea<\/a> is a cute little book that’s perfect for a baby shower gift or for parents of a newborn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a hardcover board book that measures about 8 inches by 8 inches. Each page features an adorable illustration of an animal mother or father and her baby, including deer, cats, sheep, giraffes, bears, foxes, tigers, bunnies, and mice. Each is in a familiar anthropomorphic setting; for example, a bunny mother is singing and watching her baby put away toys on a playroom; a bear father is holding his cub in his lap while sitting in his easy chair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The illustrations are soft and cute with bright watercolor painting. As with all great children’s books, there are plenty of background details to keep children engaged. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The words are reminiscent of books like On the Day You Were Born by Nancy Tillman or Guess How Much I Love You by Sam McBratney, in that they’re like a gentle love letter to a parent’s baby (“Your giggle always melts my heart \/ You changed my world from the start”). Personally, I find the words a little too babyish for my three year old, but I could totally see a parent of a newborn or a toddler who’s just learning how to talk reading it to their child. As such, it makes a perfect present for parents of a new baby. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
