This was the first of Mem Fox's books that I purchased for my baby. The poem is charming and sweet a wonderful and welcome change from the inane text in so many baby books. The art work is delightful. Most importantly though baby LOVES this book. We read together several times and day every time we read he is impatient to get to this book and often wants me to read it at least twice. After reading it I put it aside with the other books we've read and he'll lean over out of my lap to try and grab this book. This was the first book that he clearly enjoyed and his favorite. Every baby should have this book.We have the lap book version and I wish I had purchased Going to Bed in the same format. This version is neither to big nor to heavy. The larger size makes the pictures and the whole book more enjoyable.While looking at other books by Mem Fox I noticed that this one had less than a five star rating. Upon reading the review that claims this book is to big for a 23 month old and that they may have to take their daughter to the ER because of immense weight of this book I couldn't let such nonsense sit there unrefuted to deter anyone from the best baby book in the perfect format. This book is about twice the width of the average baby book and little bit taller. It is thicker than most because of the padded cover, this extra thickness however is not heavy. This book does not ways about as much as two small board books. My son at 7 months old has no trouble turning pages, opening, or closing this book. At 7 months his hands are not yet big enough to hold this book on his own, though I don't doubt that he will be able to do so before 2 years of age.
