 Great baby book January 6, 2009
This is a great baby book, with good prompts for most of the highlights of the first year. I would have liked more space to write in some places and less in others, but I think it would be difficult for any baby book to hit that space limitation just right. It is a nice size, with lots of pages, and many features that I didn't see in other baby books. There are spaces for photos and keepsakes, and it's spiral bound so you can actually still close the book after you finish it. Overall, a good baby book.
 The perfect baby journal December 27, 2008
I love this journal. It is very organized and detailed in capturing your baby's first years without being too "dorky". Many baby books have a way of capturing too much info or stuff that no one remembers, Amy has written one that has the perfect balance. It's easy to fill out and has spots for pictures and other memories. I highly recommend this journal. I have 2, one for each child.
Baby journal November 28, 2008
This is an adorable baby keepsake journal. I bought one for my twin boys because I wasn't sure that I would like it but then had to go ahead and get a second one. I like the colors and characters, the quotes and the set-up of the book. There is room for pictures and plenty of space for writing.
 Christian indoctrination packaged as a secular book October 17, 2008
7 out of 10 found this review helpful
How would all you religious folk out there feel if you bought what appeared to be an innocuous everyday baby book, and on the first page was the Bill Maher quotation, "Faith is making a virtue out of not thinking"? Or maybe for the Christians, how would you like it if every other page had a quote from the Koran? You'd expect a book like that to be advertised as a "Muslim baby book", wouldn't you?
Well, this book is the Christian equivalent, and it is reckless and irresponsible for Amazon to list this book without making the genre clear. Make no mistake: This book is a CHRISTIAN book. It doesn't even promote faith in a non-secular way (which wouldn't be okay with me anyway, but at least then I'd understand why it wasn't clearly identified). This book is pushing a particular religion in an overt and overbearing manner, and fails to identify itself as such.
I don't want my child growing up to be the kind of person who bombs abortion clinics or burns embassies over a stupid cartoon. Other people may feel differently, but it ought to be an informed choice, not a sneaky back-door indoctrination. Boo to the publishers for not making this clear in the title, and boo to Amazon for failing to identify the book as such.
 Heavy on Bible Quotes: This is a Christian Baby Book October 17, 2008
6 out of 8 found this review helpful
The book is adorable, but I think there's a severe and unseemly excess of bible quotes. A couple of bible quotes I can deal with, but there are at least FOURTEEN of them and many other references to god/heaven. There is clearly a religious agenda here, something that I prefer not to be packaged surreptitiously along with my baby book.
The author could have simply called it a Christian baby book and been honest about it. Including "humble" in the title isn't clear enough, as all babies are humble regardless of their religious indoctrination. If I'd known this was a blatant Christian book, I wouldn't have purchased it.
So two stars from me, primarily for the dishonesty in labeling. Once again I've had religion jammed solidly down my throat for no clear reason. If heaven is filled with people who engage in this type of dishonest behavior, I'll happily accept the alternative.
