Editorial Reviews

The lilting rhyme offers reassurance to any baby, "Baby Cakes, Baby Cakes, I love you!" Normally one would expect to see parents smooching, nibbling on feet, bouncing and hugging their little ones on their laps, but Wilson gives the traditional rhyme a little twist. He shows a variety of babies—boys and girls of various ethnicities kissing, hugging, and playing with their favorite toys, which tend to be stuffed animals. So we see a cute redhead bouncing a teddy bear and clapping, while an Oriental baby in green pajamas laughs while he reads a story to his teddy bear. It is a charming book and one that kids should enjoy having read to them quite a few times. The art is deceptively simple looking—with just a few strokes and water colors, Wilson is able to depict each of these babies and their emotions.
