Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Go back to bed,
baby please, baby, please.
Not on your HEAD,
baby baby baby, please!
Academy-Award nominated filmmaker Spike Lee and his wife, producer Tonya Lewis Lee, preset a behind-the-scenes look at the chills, spills, and unequivocal thrills of bringing up baby!
Vivid illustrations from celebrated artist Kadir Nelson evoke toddlerhood from sandbox to high chair to crib.
Amazon.com Review:
Filmmaker Spike Lee and wife Tonya Lewis Lee join the ranks of other celebrity kids' book writers with their sweet, rhythmic read-along about the endless energy of a toddler blasting through a busy day.
The Lees' diapered dynamo starts early (the VCR reads 3:01 a.m.), with the little girl outlasting her mama sprawled out on the living room floor ('Go back to bed, baby, please, baby, please'). A breakfast of upturned Cheerios follows a few hours later ('Not on your HEAD, baby baby baby, please!'), then play time, a trip to the playground, dinner, and a bath ('Please don't splash, baby baby, please, baby!'). The fun repetition doesn't change up until the book's sweet close, as the curly-haired tyke somehow can't get to sleep ('Kiss me good night? Mama, Mama, Mama, please').
The Lees have as much or more sucess than their high-profile counterparts (Jerry Seinfeld: Halloween, John Lithgow: Marsupial Sue; and Jamie Lee Curtis: I'm Gonna Like Me: Letting Off a Little Self-Esteem), thanks in large part to their excellent choice of illustrator Kadir Nelson, whose work has appeared everywhere from Sports Illustrated to the New Yorker. Just as he did with Will Smith's Just the Two of Us, Nelson uses his enormous talent to inject energy and emotion into each richly colored, Rockwellian spread. (Baby to preschool) --Paul Hughes

*My two year old son turns and recites the pages by looking at the colorful illustrations. This is a great book to read to interact with your toddler. They like the rhythm of the words and, the big bold pictures of a baby they can relate to.

It's a cute book (definitely one exhausted parents can relate to) but I think it's more appropriate for kids aged 2-3, although my 4 year old will read it once in a while.

This is my 2 year old's absolute favorite book and calls the main character by her own name because of the uncanny resemblance in both appearance and personality. We both love the rhythm and the illustrations, but I held one star back because I believe that it inspired some naughty behaviors. I definitely noticed more sand eating and wall art after we had read the book a few times. So be prepared!

Have you ever begged your kids to go back to sleep or thought that baby needs a nap? Well you can identify with what this baby gets into. Even though the child is told "no" to this or "don't" do that, you will find yourself laughing at the clever illustrations and expressions. The kids at the daycare believe that everything in the book could happen and realized that the clock depicted in each scene proves that naps are necessary. Now that is a positive reinforcement for parents. The illustrations are phenomenal - the details, color, and mischief depicted - will fill your heart with joy as well as provide discusion topics with your kids.

I love the illustration of this book but I feel the text could have been better ...
