Reviews

"These books work on so many levels, with poetry to hear, pictures to talk about, and a powerful message. They give children just the sort of delightful and mind-expanding experiences they need, while leading parents to see the child's world through a creative and joyful lens. Wonderful medicine for an overly electronic age!" —Dr. Robert Needlman, MD, associate professor of pediatrics, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and cofounder, Reach Out and Read

"Baby Unplugged by blue manatee press is a series of books created to get back to basics. Where the only sort of entertainment you need is your imagination. No screen time necessary. A simple concept, but one that we seem to forget amidst the hustle and bustle of our busy lives." —Jenn Auer, Jersey Family Fun blog

"In this energetic addition to the Baby Unplugged line, Hutton deploys an appropriately bouncy series of rhymes to celebrate balls of every shape, size, and type . . . Jones's carefully detailed, warmly appealing images switch up the settings from page to page." —Publishers Weekly
