Book Review - Rockin' Babies

About the BookA new baby is always the star attraction in every family.  The mother-daughter team of award-winning therapist Dr. Jenn Berman and music legend Cynthia Weil have captured the true essence of babyhood in this hip, humorous new board book, ROCKIN’ BABIES. I’m writing in hopes you will consider this fun book for review or mention in Dad of Divas.

This is the perfect gift for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and every day when a new parent recognizes that their baby is a rock star.  Whether being hounded by the paparazzi (parents with cameras), getting mobbed by fans (cheek-pinching relatives) or going “on tour” (wheeling around in a stroller), baby is born to be wild! In ROCKIN' BABIES, Dr. Jenn Berman and Cynthia Weil playfully re-imagine the rock 'n' roll lifestyle in child-friendly fashion. Galia Bernstein's spectacular illustrations, combining unique textures and colors, complete this charming book-perfect for parents and babies who “dream big.”

My Take on the Book

This is a cute story, taking the everyday events in a baby's life and putting modern day terminology to each event. Such examples are: babies singing in their cribs become baby performers telling their audience to "hang loose". Or think about all the photos you take of your baby whether by camera or cell phone and you have now become the "paparazzi". A buggy stroll outdoors is fun for you and your baby and now becomes "baby on tour". Think about the times you see your young one "trashing" their bedroom as they explore everything in their toy box or closet . And does your rockin' baby rock out to their favorite tunes via spoons and kettle drums ?

This is a good story to evaluate your own rockin' baby' life and everyday events in a new life.
