Summary: O'Connell and Wilson-Max Combine for a Winner!
Review: Bright and lively, bold and colorful, this book immediately caught my eye. Its lovely rhythm and simple, warm sense of humor were delightful to nuzzle in. Both as a parent and as a psychologist who works with young children, I found the book right on in its use of repetition and bright colors, inclusion of a loving family (including the cat!), and the joy the baby takes in sounds and other senses in exploring the world. "Beep" if you love this book! And the baby goes flip, flip, flip, flip through its pages again and again!

Summary: The New Classic in Baby Books!
Review: If you are looking for a fun, easy to read book that takes you through the typical day of a toddler, The Baby Goes Beep is it!

We purchased this book to read to our 18-month old. It did not take long for my 4-year old to pick it up and start reading it to his sister. The text has an easy to follow rhythm making it the perfect read-aloud book! The coloful illustrations are captivating and fun.

The Baby Goes Beep has become a family favorite and will quickly become the new Classic in Baby Books! This should be "required" reading for every parent and child!

Ms O'Connell has a unique talent for capturing the fun-loving spirit of a child!

Summary: Just perfect for babies and toddlers
Review: The Baby Goes Beep is one of my son's favorites. He's 16 months old and loves the bouncy, rhyming text and sunshine-bright illustrations. Best of all, he loves to give the book a kiss when we get to the "baby goes smooch" page spread. This book is an excellent choice for babies and toddlers.

As a side note, this book was a Charlotte Zolotow honor book for 2004 -- the award given for the best picture book writing of the year (the Caldecott is for illustration). Kudos to O'Connell!
