The Reviews

 

Love love love this book!

By AC on October 25, 2015

Love love love this book! I bought it for a dear friends daughter who is expecting for the first time and is a teacher in elementary school. She loved it and will cherish it always! It is written and illustrated so thoughtfully and tells such a sweet and loving story! Jacqueline and Susan are to be commended for their writing excellence and storytelling talent. I highly recommend this book for all Mom's to be and wish I had this when I was pregnant for my children — I know my future grandchildren will enjoy this book so much!

 

 

My wife absolutely loved it.

By TW on July 31, 2015

My wife received this wonderful little book as a present and practically begged me to write a review. She thought it was absolutely brilliant and, in her words, "such a neat concept." I'd highly suggest picking up a copy. Bravo.

 

 

What a great concept!

By L on July 31, 2015

What a creative concept and idea. Great illustrations and a fun story to share with your to-be born. Struggling to find a unique baby-shower gift? This is it. Beyond the concept, the book is very high quality and produced with obvious care. The story alone is worth it — rhythmic and fun. Can't wait for the sequel.

 

 

Great Gift for Expecting Moms

By J on July 30, 2015

We were looking for a gift for a friend of ours who is expecting a baby. We weren't sure about this book, so we purchased one to check it out. After getting our hands on it, not only we decide that it was the perfect gift for our friend, but we purchased five more to have on hand for future Mom gifts. It's very well done, unique and fun.

 

 

We love to read and believe it's important to read to your baby...

By DW on May 3, 2015

Purchased this for my newly pregnant daughter. We love to read and believe it's important to read to your baby. It's never too early to start...perfect first book!

 

 

awesome book!

By JD on May 2, 2015

My daughter finally got her baby bump, awesome book!

 

 

Wonderful present for moms and dad-to-be!

By LG on March 10, 2015

I love buying this book for pregnant moms! When I was expecting, I felt it was such a magical time so for me, I get to relive vicariously through my friends when I give this book to them. It is well-received and enjoyed by those to whom I have given the book.

 

 

A wonderful, colourful book filled with fun to read to ...

By YY on March 10, 2015

A wonderful, colourful book filled with fun to read to our unborn child. The curved shape fits just right on the belly. This will be a book we will continue to read with our child after delivery!

 

 

fun for dad...hopefully baby too

By KK on March 9, 2015

I enjoy reading this book to my wife's baby bump. Helps build the father child bond. We won't know the gender until the baby is born and this book is gender neutral.

 

 

Love this book

By MM on December 27, 2014

Love this book. Presented it to a friend for her first grand baby. Her daughter is crazy about this book and enjoys reading to her baby with her husband.

 

 

Lovely Book!

By LW on December 17, 2014

Lovely book! Great for reading to your baby before and after birth!

 

 

This is a great book with a great concept

By RT on September 25, 2014

This is a great book with a great concept. A great idea with a great story and illustrations that I would definitely recommend. It makes a great gift idea for those expecting.

 

 

Would also be good for baby's sibling to hear while mom is reading to siblings..

By AH on September 9, 2014

Bought this for my DIL who is expecting first child. Wanted to share with her the research done which proves babies can hear while in the womb. Cute short board book she can set on her 8 month belly as she reads to her baby to be. Would also be good for baby's sibling to hear while mom is reading to their soon to be brother or sister!

 

 

Read every night

By BGG on August 20, 2014

I read this every night my third trimester. She was having a hard time adjusting to the new world around her but when she heard the book, she knew she was safe. It is an amazing book to pass on to your children <3

 

 

The idea of the book is very sweet. Its what every parent feels and or thinks

By MD on August 17, 2014

A Dad to be and expecting a baby girl! I can see myself reading this to her till she's 5! The idea of the book is very sweet. Its what every parent feels and or thinks. I think the pictures are a lil funny looking but its ok. The only downside is that this book assumes only moms would read this to their baby's, couple words in the story lines make it obvious. I still highly recommend this book! If your a dad, it won't hurt to change a word or two as you read it.

 

 

Read to the Belly!

By DS on June 4, 2014

As an education consultant and mother, I have always been a huge advocate of reading to children. . . . During my pregnancies, I had heard about talking to and singing to your unborn child. It never occurred to me the possible benefits of reading to my unborn children. . . . This colorful, rhyming board book is creatively shaped to fit over an expecting mother's expanding belly. Now that I am a new grandma, I can encourage my children to begin reading to my grandchildren before their arrival into the world. I enjoyed reading this book and can imagine the joy a mom and dad can experience introducing the book to their child after the baby is born as well.

Love everything about this book!

By KK on May 18, 2014

I love everything about this book! The sturdy board book style is perfect for frequent use (and little hands!), the illustrations are adorable, and the sing songy limerick style of the words are so lovely to read and hear.

5.0 out of 5 stars

So unique. The baby book we've been waiting for.

 

 

By FL on April 11, 2014

So thoughtful, so sensitive, with wonderful graphics. A great artifact to show your child how much they were loved even before they were born. Also a great baby shower gift.

 

 

A book for all expectant mothers

By MS on April 6, 2014

As a mother of 7 and a stepmother to 6, this book made me laugh and cry. The pictures were fantastic, and made me wish it had been around when I was pregnant in the 60's.

 

 

Adorable Design

By KM on March 29, 2014

Such an adorable book! I love the concept of being able to read comfortably over my bump! I wish that there were more books that came in the creative design.

 

 

Love it!

By E on March 20, 2014

I purchased this book after my baby boy was born. He is now three months old and I read it to him every day. The pictures are adorable and the rhythmic pattern to the story is wonderful. This book is so sweet. The first few times I read it to him I got goosebumps. He now recognizes the book, so whenever I pick it up to read to him, he kicks his legs with excitement. I wish this was available during my last trimester so that I could have started reading it to him while he was in my belly, but he came a little too early. This is a beautiful, sweet book that makes the perfect baby shower gift for expecting moms or any new moms. I would highly recommend this book.

 

 

 

Heart warming!

By KM on March 19, 2014

This book was so meaningful to read to my daughter as I was pregnant! And even more so now that she is here!!!! My first loves to read, and she helped me read this to her then and now wants to show her all the things we read about. Absolutely precious!!!

 

 

What a gorgeous book!

By M on March 13, 2014

I bought this for a friend's baby shower and it was a huge hit. It definitely got more "oohs" and "ahhhs" than the usual shower gifts! The illustrations are lovely and adorable and the verses are actually quite touching. I highly recommend this for your pregnant family, friends, neighbors, baristas, etc!

 

 

 

A great book for babies in utero and beyond.

By BB on March 6, 2014

I bought this book for a co-worker whose wife is due within a month, and who has a toddler. The book arrived yesterday and I was so impressed -- and my co-worker told me today that his wife loves it. I can see that the verse would be great for babies in utero -- read out loud it has a lovely rhythm that will be both soothing and stimulating. And both the verse and the illustrations make it perfect for older babies and toddlers -- they'll love looking at all the beautiful pictures! This will definitely be my standard Congratulations-You're-Having-A-Baby present from now on.

 

 

 

Loving, Beautiful, and Intelligent

By CK on February 28, 2014

This is a book meant to be read to a baby while it is still in the womb and after. The book's concept is based on scientific evidence but the content is sweet, loving, and beautifully crafted with illustrations by the authors. (The curved shape is for resting on the belly while reading.) It is unique in design and a treat for people who like the "feel" of books in their hands.

 

 

 

Beautiful book!

By K on February 28, 2014

What a wonderfully unique book! The illustrations are gorgeous and the story just lovely. This is a wonderful gift idea not only for mothers-to-be, but for mothers with young children as well. The material and shape of the book are like nothing I have ever seen before. I am so happy I purchased this for a friend, she loved it!

 

 

 

From someone who doesn't usually write reviews...

By R on February 26, 2014

My wife received this book as a gift and it is one of the most thoughtful shower gifts we received. We enjoyed reading this book together before the baby was born and it really made us look forward to what was to come. If you are looking for a unique gift this is it. I don't usually write reviews, but this is a great book for new parents.

 

 

 

One of the most beautiful gifts you can give to a new mom!

By K on February 24, 2014

The book, Can't Wait to Show You, is the best baby gift I received as a new mom. While pregnant, I enjoyed nestling in with this story and reading to my son. The illustrations are BEAUTIFUL and the words are a touching tribute to all of the wonderful things I looked forward to experiencing with my baby to be. Once he was born, I was able to enjoy this story with him. Today, as a toddler, he loves looking at the vibrant pictures of babies, moms, and so much more. I can't recommend this book enough. Be the one to get the most unique, and special, gift at the baby shower. Or... if you're a mom to be, treat yourself to a special bonding experience with your baby.
