Why read it?

2 authors picked The Baby's Catalogue as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This is a classic and should be on every child’s bookshelf. It was a family favorite and held a very special place in our hearts. Twenty years after coming across the incomparable Ahlbergs, this little book also inspired our own Every One is Special series. 

In my experience as a parent, young children love pointing to things they think are funny, spotting things they recognize, finding things on a page they think no one else has noticed . . . and then doing it all over again! We used to pore over this at bedtime or dip into it for…

In a sense, our new title Babies, Babies Everywhere! Is a homage to this lovely book, which the Ahlbergs made when they realised that their baby, Jessica, was much more interested in the Mothercare catalogue than in the picture books aimed at her age group. We wanted to update it with a more typical 21st-century bunch of babies and their diverse families.
