As the mother of two young children, I can honestly say that this is one one of my favorite board books. I love all of Jabari Asim's books, but this one is by far my favorite. The illustrations are adorable, and the text is playful and loving. I first saw this book at the library, and immediately ordered one for my one-year-old daughter after reading it. The problem is that it is such a sweet book that I keep gifting it to parents of little girls. Each time I am told--without prompting, that they too love this book.The illustrations are filled with loving pictures of a little girl and her father. The text is loving and non-annoying (Always a big plus). The little brown baby girl is adorable, and I think that every little girl would love to have her in their library. I would totally recommend this book for a baby shower, new baby, first or second birthday, or a great addition to any young child's library.
We love this book!!! My daughter who is 7 months is captivated by the illustrations and truly pays attentions! As an African American mama I love that this book reflects our family, and for once has an illustration of an African American Father!! My husband and I both enjoy this book very much! Love to see more books like this!!
The illustrations in this book are great and I particularly like that the characters are diverse. We read it often to our 1 year old son, even though the book is for a girl! It's hard to find books where the characters look like my family and so we look beyond the 'girl' of mine part.I'm certain you will enjoy this book, the story and illustrations are both adorable.
Cute story with nice illustrations. My 2 year old likes the story, good bedtime reading. I would buy another book by this author.
Gave as a gift to my friend's 1 year old along with a teddy bear that looks like the one in the picture. She's a total "Daddy's Girl" like many of us are and immediately identified with the images. Now that she's 2 and understands a bit more, it's one of her favorite stories. Dad, mom and I loved it because is one of the few books and the only one they have where there's an African American father really interacting with his daughter. When it's his turn for lights out, Dad loves to read this story to his little "girl of mine."
Purchased for my 3 month old on a whim in a little bookstore. She loved it at bedtime! It became a nightly read through out the next few months. She is 11 months old now and no matter how many times I read it, she will smile, turn the pages, and point. It helps even more if you sing the song in the middle. We loved this book so much, we bought Boy of Mine by the same author and she loves it even more! Highly recommend!
This is one of the first books that I purchased for my daughter. She was about 4 months at the time of purchase.She absolutely LOVES this book.The pictures are bold, bright and large.The story has a nice rthym to it. It has a nice amount of pages. The book is very sturdy.My daughter lover to grab at the book and touch the little girl that is illustrated. It is a very sweet story.She seems to never get tired of hearing it. It is the book that I use to put her to bed with. I'll read two or three short stories and she usually ends with her favorite.i would definitely reccomend as a great "Bedtime" book. :)Hope you enjoy this with your little one as much as I do. I almost have the pages memorized. :)
I purchased this book so that I can have a book to read to my little girl that that’s about the relationship of a father and daughter. She loves the story and the illustrations and the fact that the main character looks like her. This is one of her bedtime favorites. I recently ordered one as a gift for my bother in-law that had a little girl.
