Baby-Toddler–A note at the beginning of this book explains the importance of reading to babies in utero as newborns have been shown to connect with voices heard prior to birth. The text and illustrations are comforting and full of love.

VERDICT A wonderfully encouraging book for parents-to-be to begin the child/adult bond as early as possible. Tender but informative for pregnant people and those sharing the journey.
