Henry is a cute little baby boy, happy and playful, having fun at home with his dog, mom and dad. He is full of “bbbghs” and “oohs” and “boops” and thinks he is communicating his needs and wants clearly to his parents until…they start to have trouble understanding what he means. Henry decides he better start searching for that first word to clear the air. He looks in his toybox, under his blanket, and even checks in with the neighborhood animals to get some tips, but he cannot find his first word any. And then he realizes his is sitting out in the yard all alone. His mama is nowhere to be seen. This makes Henry nervous and scared! He needs her, bad! Maybe this baby crisis will lure that first word to his sweet, quivering little lips…!The first time I read this book cover to cover I exclaimed out loud to my husband, “I love this book! You have to read it NOW!”. I was serious. He sat down and we read it together. “I love this book, too” he said. This may be because we are two parents playing the waiting game for all the first words to start making an appearance. But it is also the lovableness of this sweet story, the little boy is just a ray of the everyday sunshine, and watching him try to communicate in his limited but expressive way is real and endearing. The illustrations by author Lindsay Ward are absolutely perfect – from Henry’s rosy cheeks to his chubby belly to his footie pajamas. The pencil outlining the muted colors bring a magic touch to this book, which is full of color and emotion and life-with-a-baby realness. The text is short, sweet and clever and I guarantee Moms and Dads everywhere will find reading baby Henry’s thoughts to be as humorous as I did! Finally, the book has a brilliant and hilarious ending that will strike a cord and make you laugh out loud! Read more at www.diapers-and-daydreams.com !
Baby Henry hasn't talked yet. His mom and dad can't wait for him to say his first word. What word will it be? And when will Henry say it? The anticipation is escalating. Henry doesn't know what the fuss is all about it. He thinks he is already talking. After all he says stuff like: "bbbghsh" which clearly means bottle. If ONLY Mama would understand him. Henry decides to look for his first word, and ask his friends (the cat, the dog, the bird, and even the bunny) for help. Then something happens which elicits Henry's first word out of him. And that's what you call a happy ending.The illustrations are in soft shades, and are upbeat and appealing. Children should enjoy this book. It's a happy book.(Some advice for new parents, be sure to write down your child's first word as you may forget. Also, don't be too concerned if your child isn't talking until age three. My youngest didn't talk until age 3, about the same week he was toilet-trained. He preferred to watch and listen to his 4-year-old brother talk. This wasn't a sign that anything was wrong with him. In High School, he was a National Merit Scholar, later earned a PhD in economics, is a professor now and teaches-talks for a living. Although when he's in a group now, he does more listening than talking, but when he does talk, he is worth listening to.)
Mom & Dad loved it the most because it made them laugh & cry too, but most of all, it made all of their baby's babbling more interesting and made them pay more attention to his ramblings rather than just tuning it out as background noise. Wonderful for those of us dealing with babies , elders with dementia or speech challenges.
Just received this as a gift for my son, Henry. Not only is it his name in a book, the book is adorable. Cute, baby friendly illustrations and an adorable story that any mom will love! Highly recommend, especially if you have a Henry in your life!
This is just adorable!
Perfect book with wonderful illustrations.
I read this to my 3 month old granddaughter. She was captivated! I kind of feel bad for dads that read it, though, since (spoiler alert) Henry's first word isn't Dada.
Nice read. Written for our time and the colors are attractive enough to capture your child's attention
