This book is a keeper.  onorman | Oct 2, 2009 |  I was a little disappointed in this book as I found it far too 'pretty' and repetitive. The pictures were beautiful but far too similar and the facts and quotes were tantalisingly brief. I would have preferred far more writing with smaller pictures so that I could have found out more about baby customs throughout the world. The lists of the most popular boy's and girl's names were not in my copy but there were two blank pages so perhaps they should have appeared there. I am sure this book will appeal to lots of other people, especially new mothers, but it was not for me. (  ) tuftytwo | Jul 29, 2009 | A little gooey for me, but many of the ladies in my life pored over it enthusiastically! Beautifully put together and a great gift for the right person. ( ) aarch235 | Jul 23, 2009 | A beautiful book of adorable baby photos, lovely sayings, and fun facts. A keeper for anyone who's a fan of babies, art and books. (  ) sidhevicious | Apr 2, 2009 | To be honest, the book isn't to my taste. This doesn't mean that it isn't adorable, nor packed to the brim with adorable baby photos and titbits of baby lore. I think that any pregnant woman or recent mother will adore this book. It's well-executed and beautifully presented. However, I did find some of the photos repetitive, but then again, I suppose that there are only so many ways in which to photograph babies. But Rachel Hale does a good job of it.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0740776126, Hardcover)"It is the nature of babies to be in bliss." --Deepak ChopraAward-winning photographer Rachael Hale turns her lens on a new subject, babies. Rachael Hale's luminous four-color photography captures the essence of babies napping, laughing, and mugging for the camera. Whether the babies are splashing happily in the bath, dozing on the sofa, or gazing at the camera with wide-eyed rapture, Hale's images focus on the infants themselves, and her lens captures the inner soul, humanity, and character of each little one. Baby Love combines more than 100 expressive baby portraits with a mixture of poetry and verse, along with surprising facts and historical details that celebrate all things baby. Readers will learn where birthdays originated and how different countries around the globe celebrate the annual milestone, as well as additional baby-inspired facts and trivia. Also included are lists of the top boy and girl names to help inspire moms- and dads-to-be. Hale has been designated as a Master of Photography at the New Zealand Institute of Professional Photography Awards and received her fellowship--the highest accolade a New Zealand photographer can achieve--in 2000.
