5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Artistic Book
Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2012
Verified Purchase
After seeing a few pages of this book on a blog on Etsy I had to have it. IT is simply the most creative book I have ever seen. As a mother I completely loved the idea the author has done. This may be a book of just her child sleeping but really it is so much more. I do not see this book as being reading material for young children as it is more a wonderful book of a mother perception of what her baby dreams about. I think too many people have gotten away from the idea of the book. We all as mothers wonder what our babies dream about since they cannot speak to us. And to make their dreams come to life I find fantastic. The book is not so much about all babies in general or even a book of learning. It is a book written by a mother who loves to bring her babies dreams to life. My son is 6 and he thought it was really cool. I mainly bought this book for the artistic photos in it. Anyone who who is looking for a book for learning material for your children you might want to look elsewhere. This book is for the parents out there who appreciate what one mother has done with her child and her wild imagination. It's brilliant!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my daughter's new favorites!
Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2012

I preordered this book when I first saw it in a magazine almost a year ago because I thought it was so creative and beautifully done. It's been sitting on my daughter's bookshelf since then, since she has been of the board book persuasion until very recently. This past week (at nearly 20 months old), my little girl discovered this in her room, and my husband and I must have read it to her about 40 times already. She loves the photos, and I think she really likes that it's about a baby. I missed the boat on being able to take similar photos of her when she was an infant, but I have visions of the two of us working together to recreate these images (and making up some of our own) down the line when I give her a little brother or sister. Such a great and inspiring little book!

I don't even have a baby, but when I saw the author's story on the Today show, I knew I had to have this book! It's absolutely adorable, and the story is just so sweet! Mila is a very lucky baby to have a mom who is creative and loving to make such fabulous scenes she will enjoy when she's older. I read this to my class because we were talking about dreams, and they enjoyed it as well. You can't help but smiling when you see the pictures in this book. I highly recommend it to anyone, young or old, mother, father, or not!

What an adorable book! I love the creativity and I love the concept. The only thing I would say is that I wish the book came in a board book style so that I could give it to my baby to look at. I read it to her and she is so interested in the pictures but because she could rip the pages I don't let her play with it. Please make a board book and I would definitely buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars cute book
Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2012

For fans of the blog, you know what to expect. This book features some of Adele Enersen's photos of her daughter Mila, in various imagined scenarios. Personally, I can't help but smile at it; I took it into my office, where I'm the only one with small children, but my coworkers all loved it too. I think I probably like it more than my 3-year-old son does, but it's sweet and precious and makes me happy. :-)

5.0 out of 5 stars Baby now sleeps with ease
Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2012

My little grand nephew William was so terrified to go to bed at night in his room that mama and daddy were also not getting any sleep. I saw this book on TV and decided to order it for them. It has turned our little guy around. He requests it read to him every night and even Big Sis Samantha reads it to him. Some nights he even takes the book to bed with him. We are thrilled with the results.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Gift for Expecting Mothers
Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2012

I had followed Adele's blog when a friend sent me the link. I instantly fell in love with her creativity! When the book was published, I knew I would be getting myself a copy as well as a friend who is now expecting. When I gave it to her, she thought it was so cute and innovative. I highly recommend purchasing an extra copy for any future expecting mothers to have on hand as a gift.

5.0 out of 5 stars un libro poetico e molto dolce!

ho acquistato la versione inglese ma so che ne esiste anche una in italiano, scegliete voi! questo libro e' bellissimo da guardare e da condividere con i bambini, credo sia anche un'ottima idea regalo per una mamma in attesa o per una neomamma. sono molto contenta che adele abbia deciso di trasformare il suo blog in un libro, vi diro' anche che c'e' un altro libro di questa autrice, sempre con la sua bimba mila nelle fotografie, che si chiama "when my baby dreams of fairytales", che ho acquistato ed e' altrettanto bello (didascalie sempre in inglese). ve li consiglio entrambi per una dolce lettura e per tanti sorrisi, riesce sempre a rallegrarmi in un momento di tristezza :)
