This book of lists, ranging from sleep charts to when babies cut teeth, might be one of the most brilliantly simple books on the market. The vintage illustrations and overall artistry display a loving quality rarely seen in bookmaking today. (LJ BookSmack! 4/20/11) — "Best Books 2011: Parenting," Booksmack! 12/1/11
Bella libro! This is one gorgeous, practical, beautifully illustrated, and very helpful little charm. The title is accurate-it is, ultimately, a book of lists, yet don't be deceived. It is a perfect ready-reference work for all things child rearing from age 0–14. From sleep charts to when babies cut teeth to an immunization schedule to stain removal tips, this title might be one of the most brilliantly simple books on the market. The vintage illustrations from artists such as Jessie Willcox Smith and Kate Greenaway contribute a great deal to the overall artistry of the book, while everything from the layout to the font to the endpapers speaks to a loving quality rarely seen in bookbinding today. It is, quite simply, a magical petronis. — "Parenting Short Takes," Booksmack! 4/21/11
