An ABC book designed to teach very young children about the earth and how it is changing.
Baby Loves is a new range of giftable preschool ABC books that taps into the trends that matter. Stunningly illustrated with a cut-to-white aesthetic, each pocket-sized book is a perfect introduction to a key topic for babies
Jessica’s Review:
Baby Loves: Earth is a pocket size picture children’s book made of thick cardboard which will make it easy for a little one to hold and turn the pages. The illustrations are colorful and yet simple to help enhance the meaning of the word that corresponds with the presented letter of the alphabet.
Baby Loves: Earth introduces little ones to the world of conservation and environmental issues. I would not recommend this for a baby of even a very young toddler as some of the words are larger and this will cause mom or dad to explain the word and meaning to the child, (Such a T for Toxin Free, Q for Equilibrium, and X for coexist. There was even a word I did not know: K for Kapok. What is that? Google helped to give me the knowledge on this word. I did like that Y stood for You and this could lead to a conversation about how you (the child) can help to save the world.
Overall, I say look at this book first and decide if it will be appropriate for your young child.

Jessica’s Review:
This is a 5 star children’s picture book that helps children learn their ABCs and also shows them that they can grow up to be anything they want!
The illustrations are very colorful and bright and also showcase the diversity in people. This includes diversity in disability and religion which does show young children that anyone can become anything they want to be. They just have to reach for it and go!
There is one letter per page which showcases an occupation with an illustration. There is also one sentence that explains the selected occupation. There are a variety of occupations showcased (some with bigger words that might need some explanation from mom or dad): Emergency Medical Technician, Paleontologist (is this an occupation that still exists???) to more advanced occupations as our technology continuously expands: Game Developer/ Quantitative Analyst, and Robotic Engineer).
This is an alphabet book I highly recommend for children.
