BABY ANGELS

I just love that the illustrator chose to draw her angels not just as the typical blonde hair & blue eyed, but also included an adorable red haired angel, an asian and black angel as well. With a daughter from China I think it's important for her to see that there are angels that look just like her! I don't have a problem with the baby in the book climbing out of his or her crib.That what a toddler does, it's their job to explore, to taste, to touch and being constantly on the move in their world. Reading to your child is so important and while reading it gives you the parent a chance to talk about climbing out of their crib, or climbing up onto something they shouldn't.

A dear lady from my support group sent this book to my youngest son for his first birthday. We really love it because he has a brother that is an angel. I point to the angels in the pictures and say "Look there is Gabriel!". The neatest thing is that one of the angels looks like Gabriel did and the baby looks like my one year old! I plan to get several copies to pass out at my children's hospital in memory of Gabriel.

Reading as part of our bedtime routine is crucial. Our daughter, born in October 1999, loves this book especially when read in a voice slightly more forceful than a whisper. She has memorized when to turn the page, and she does so without being prompted.If ever there should be an award for illustrations, this book has my vote! The baby angels are darling, and the baby in red is just as cute.Plus, and perhaps most importantly at times, a parent can read this book in just a couple of minutes. This is enough time for our daughter to get relaxed so that she can prepare herself for a good night's sleep.

Our daughter loves to be read this book. She points to the chubby baby angels floating in the air and squeals with laughter. It's also a very sweet story that I enjoy reading her.

Baby Angels is a heartwarming book. I have read it to my child millions of times. He has loved the book ever since the first time that I read it to him. I have given the book to other children as well. THe illustrations are unbelievable and so true to life. They are absolutely gorgeous. The story is actually a prayer but is short and sweet holding even the youngest infant's attention. A lovely book to share with your child and a beautiful prayer to say each and every day. A must have for anyone who believes in angels....you will after reading this book.
