Reviews for You Are New

[villemezbrown · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

A delightful and fun picture book about babies that bounces along nicely and pairs well with Knisley's new cartoon collection: Go to Sleep (I Miss You): Cartoons from the Fog of New Parenthood.

[sweetiegherkin · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This sweet picture book welcomes young ones into the world, talking about all the new things they will see, learn, and do. The colorful illustrations draw the eye in without being overwhelming and show diversity. Simple text makes this a good read-aloud or lapsit read even for very young readers. Indeed, I could easily see this being used in an infant/toddler storytime.
