Summary: Certain to entertain young readers
Comment: Best Kind Of Baby is the successful collaboration of author Kate Laing and illustrator R. W. Alley. Sophie knows her mother is going to have some kind of baby -- but why a regular old human baby? An ordinary baby can't play like a puppy, or make funny noises like a monkey, or blow bubbles like a fish! The feelings and ideas of a young child coming to terms with the pending inclusion of a baby in the family is beautiful presented in this picture book story that is certain to entertain young readers preschool through first grade.

Summary: So sweet and funny - a beautifully-written book
Comment: Having recently given birth to our third child, I've read a lot of books on this theme and this is, by far, my favorite. Laing's writing just rings true to how preschoolers really act and think, for ex., I love the descriptions of Sophie's friends as her next best-friend, her fourth best friend, etc. And my children had these tee-hee-hee laughs as Sophie's imagination soared, imagining that her mom was growing different animals inside her belly, instead of a human baby. When one of Sophie's friends asked if her mom swallowed a basketball, not only could I relate, having recently been as big as a house, but my children thought it was hilarious. I expect that we'll be reading this for years, long after we're dealing with welcoming a baby. My 3-year-old loved looking at the pictures of Sophie as a dolphin, as a monkey, etc. He asks for me to read the book so much, that my newly-reading 6-year-old read it to him. It was one of two books my children threw into the car for a recent day trip. Great book!

Summary: A clever, creative story for young children
Comment: This is an absolutely charming story for young children who are expecting a sibling. The story captures the humor of young children, and is a joy for adults to read, as well. It is clever, creative, funny and very sweet. We should hope for many more from Ms. Laing.
