Sweet and Educational December 29, 2008
This book is very sweet. It has lovely illustrations, and my daughter enjoys having this book read to her. As a note, the Spanish words are not translated exactly from the English, but instead are written poetically, so they have a slightly different meaning. Both the English and Spanish texts are really very nice. What a great book to instill in a child the sweetness, normalcy, and wonder of breastfeeding!
Too cute! November 27, 2008

I got this book for my son, almost 20 months, to help prepare him to see me nursing his new baby brother (due in a month) -- I had to exclusively pump for my older little guy, so he doesn't have any memory of nursing.
The illustrations are just adorable! There are human families (of all ethnicities), as well as animals both familiar (cats, horses) and a little less usual (platypuses, bats). My son loves looking at the pictures and having me name the various animals (or trying to name them himself ... he gets a little confused sometimes, though, and thinks the kangaroos are dogs ...)
It's great to see a book that shows breastfeeding as normal and natural. We have a couple of "we're having a new baby" books for my son, and I've been disappointed in how they both show the babies drinking bottles. This is a nice counterpoint.
My toddler loves this book and so do I! November 10, 2008
My daughter is 27 months and still nursing. She loves to read this book with me and see pictures of other babies and toddlers nursing and then to see that the animals nurse too - from land, to trees, and even in the ocean.
The illustrations are great and it is a good quality book. The story is pleasant and rhymes a bit. A lot of thought was put into this book and it reads well. I have bought several books about nursing and extended nursing and so far, this is the best quality book I have found. Also, at the end there are little facts about how long each animal nurses and found this very interesting. Elephants nurse for 2-5 years! Something I did not know :)
I think it's important for mom's who are practicing extended nursing to be reminded that it's such a natural and wonderful thing and important too for the toddler to see other children thier age nursing as well. It helps to balance out some of the negative things we see in our culture or hear from well meaning friends and family. Enjoy!
Great Book September 4, 2008
Our family loves this book. It is a great way of educating children on breastfeeding and how it is a part of human nature. It helped my toddler understand why mom was nursing the baby.
great, non-nipply nursing book July 1, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I love finding books that normalize breastfeeding to children, but a lot of them are too "nipply" to me -- as natural as it is, and as much as I might nurse a baby in public without a care, I don't like the books with nipples all over the pages. Maybe I just feel self-conscious if someone else should see the books, or maybe it's just me being prudishly American. Regardless, this book is quite tastefully done. Even those who think babies should be nursed under a cover and only until they are 6mo old couldn't object to it.
Wish it was a boardbook, as most kids who are nursing are still ripping up paper pages, but it's a high quality printing on thicker than average paper.
