Editorial Review

In a charming addition to the Local Babies series, McKeon sings the praises of the baby life in Brooklyn, N.Y., incorporating light fodder for discussions about the seasons, shapes, letters, and more. Lemay is careful to reflect the boroughs ethnic diversity, with parents and children of many different backgrounds shown, and her references are nothing if not current: the Barclay Centers distinctive brown faade can be spotted in the corner of a transportation-focused scene, while foodie babies check out the offerings at whats clearly the Smorgasburg market in another. Simultaneously available: Texas Baby. Publishers Weekly.
