The Body Book<\/b>
\nClaire Rayner<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is an epic review for an epic book. I grew up with this book in the 80s and have fond, pervy memories of it. I say \u2018pervy\u2019 because it features copulation is all its glory. I\u2019m talking full-on penetration including an erect penis that would make John Holmes blush. As a child I felt devilishly naughty looking through its pages and would take great pride in \u2018shocking\u2019 my friends with the contents. The characters have cheesy 70s hairdos and facial hair, as well as a reluctance to use anatomically correct terms. For instance, a vagina is a \u2018baby-making place\u2019, an anus is a \u2018little hole\u2019, testacies are \u2018little round balls\u2019, and yet curiously a penis is still called a penis. The book covers all aspects of the human body, from boring aspects such as the skeleton, muscles and blood cells, to yucky aspects like bodily excretions and farts, and then of course the interesting well-thumbed part of the book: \u201cGrowing and Changing and Making New People\u201d. In this chapter a conservative text explains that: \u201cWhen a man and a woman want to make a baby, the man\u2019s penis stops being floppy and stands to attention\u201d. We are promptly treated to a close-up illustration of a penis saluting.<\/p>\n

After the usual timeline of pregnancy, the process of birth is depicted vaguely and somewhat bizarrely: \u201cIt is hard work for a mother to help her baby get out. She has to stretch her baby-making place very wide, and that takes a lot of time. But it is worth the hard work, because a new baby is a very happy person to have in a family\u201d. Is the stretching referring to the vagina or cervix? We will never know as this book seems to have a fear of reproductive terminology. Also the assumption that \u2018a baby is a very happy person to have in a family\u2019 is amusingly nonsensical considering how much of a baby\u2019s first year it spends crying.<\/p>\n

After birth the book features a brief nod to breastfeeding. The text describes that: \u201cAfter the baby is born, his mother holds him close to her breasts and puts the soft tip of one of them in his mouth. Then he can suck, and get the milk the breasts are making\u201d. Although the word \u2018breast\u2019 is used correctly, there\u2019s no mention that \u2018the soft tip\u2019 is called a nipple. Refreshingly however the mutual pleasure of breastfeeding is described: \u201cMothers like doing this. It feels nice for them. Babies like doing this. It feels nice for them, too\u201d. Also skin to skin is championed: \u201cBreasts are for making milk to feed the baby with. They are also to help cuddle the baby. Being cuddled by a mother with warm soft breasts is very nice for babies and children\u201d. In all I would recommend this book for its nostalgic quirky value.<\/p>\n

The Bare Naked Book<\/b>
\nKathy Stinson<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Each page in this bubbly light-hearted book focuses on a different body part. Hair, eyes, nose, shoulders, tongue, and so on. It acts as a charming introduction to the human body for inquisitive toddlers. The text is shy on detail so as not to be overbearing, and serves as a simple bedfellow for the stunning illustrations. For instance, on the page titled \u2018Hair\u2019 the detailed illustration shows a bustling family in their bathroom. The text simply and eloquently reads: \u201cDripping hair. Straight hair. Tangled hair. Curly hair. Where is your hair?\u201d Unlike \u2018The Body Book\u2019 (reviewed above), this book features the correct anatomical labels for each body part (including penis and vagina). On the page titled \u2018Nipples\u2019 the text reads: \u201cLittle nipples. Hairy nipples. Milky nipples.\u201d An accompanying illustration shows a multitasking mother breastfeeding her infant whilst reading with an older child. A miscellany of body shapes are celebrated throughout the book – double chins, mutton tops, fat rolls, short people, tall people, old people, and of course, children. However for a book that purports to \u201cplay tribute to the wonderful diversity of our marvellous bodies\u201d there is one flaw \u2013 everyone is white.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When I Was a Baby<\/b>
\nCatherine Anholt<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

From the same author-illustrator that brought us \u2018Sophie and the New Baby\u2019 and \u2018Aren\u2019t You Lucky\u2019 (both reviewed in\u00a0Part One) here is another story featuring a young girl learning about babies. The familiar felt-tipped illustrations that Catherine Anholt is famous for are plentiful, however this time, instead of preparing for the arrival of a new sibling, the little girl is reflecting on her own babyhood. Together with her Mum, they discuss the various milestones of her infancy, starting with her arrival home from hospital, then discussing babycare tasks such as bathing and nappy changing, and ending with her first birthday party. There is an eclectic mix of parenting styles depicted in the book. Breastfeeding and cosleeping are shown at the start. An illustration shows Mum nursing her daughter in bed, with moses basket close by, whilst Dad delivers breakfast to them. In the accompanying text the little girl asks \u201cWhat did I eat when I was a baby?\u201d to which her mother responds: \u201cFor a long while you only drank milk\u201d. No more is said regarding breastfeeding and later in the book a bottle is shown. There is no babywearing. Instead the baby is transported in a pram. However the baby does appear to be wearing cloth nappies rather than disposables, and babyled weaning is hinted at. So as I said, an eclectic mix.<\/p>\n

Hello Benny!<\/b>
\nRobie Harris<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I dislike this book. Why would I dislike a book which features breastfeeding and was created by the same author who brought us the pro-breastfeeding books \u2018Happy Birth Day!\u2019 and \u2018Hi New Baby!\u2019 (reviewed in\u00a0Part Four) you may be wondering. I dislike this book because of the clumsy way it describes breast milk and formula. After announcing the birth of baby Benny the text inform us that: \u201cThe only food new babies need is milk from their mother\u2019s breasts or from a bottle filled with special milk for babies. This special milk is made from cow\u2019s milk or soybeans. Breast milk and the special milk taste different from the milk we drink. The special milk has a stronger taste because extra vitamins, salt, sugar, and fat have been added to it\u201d. Firstly, why use the word \u2018special\u2019 to describe formula? Why not just call it formula? Secondly, why mention that \u2018special milk\u2019 has vitamins added but neglect to mention that breast milk already contains those vitamins and a host more? None of the attributes of breast milk are mentioned. These oversights are a real shame considering that the book contains a wonderful full-page illustration of a happy mother nursing her newborn with proud father on looking.<\/p>\n

Farmyard Hullabaloo<\/b><\/h3>\n

Giles Andreae and David Wojtowycz<\/h3>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
\n
Farmyard Hullabaloo ticks all the boxes of a great book for toddlers. Simple illustrations? Check. Lots of primary colours? Check. Bubbly rhyming text? Check. Animals? Check. Each page describes the life of a different farm animal from their own perspective \u2013 and that perspective can be bluntly honest at times. For instance, the rather menacing-looking fox says, \u201cI wait in the woods until nightfall, Then down to the farmyard I creep, Because nothing looks quite as delicious, As chickens who\u2019ve fallen asleep\u201d. The fox is shown stalking around the dark farmyard, licking his lips in anticipation. The best part of the book (not that I\u2019m biased) features a plump cuddly mother pig watching contently as her piglets search for a teat, piling on top of each other like a rugby scrum. A lot of books in the farm animal genre feature pigs nursing their young, but in my opinion none of them do it as endearing as this. The little fatty butts wriggling, the piglet on the right nuzzling its mother\u2019s face adorningly, even the little fella in the corner who is waiting for a teat with a disappointed expression on his little piggy face.<\/div>\n

Little Baa<\/b>
\nKim Lewis<\/h3>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
Yes I know, it\u2019s another book from the farm genre, and some people have issues with linking farm animals with lactating women; but you know what, we\u2019re all mammals. That fact is to be embraced. Little Baa is a simple yet deeply tender story about a baby lamb and its mother becoming separated. The bulk of the book follows the mother as she desperately tries to locate her baby. She could not see her baby\u2019s spotty ears. She couldn\u2019t smell his familiar smell or hear his little baa. She searches frantically sniffing amongst other lambs but, \u201cNone of them were her very own the way Little Baa was hers\u201d. The poor mother, now childless, is rejected by the other mothers. The atmospheric illustrations and endearing narrative capture her desperation at losing her lamb: \u201cThe sun was starting to go down. Her voice became a lonely sound. She couldn\u2019t rest or eat or think\u201d. But wait, don\u2019t reach for the Kleenex just yet folks, this is a kiddies book remember. The climax of the story brings with it a tearful reunion between mother and baby. The illustration shows a shaken yet relieved baby lamb nursing, snuggled in his mother\u2019s warmth. \u201cMa\u201d said Little Baa sleepy. \u201cAre you still there?\u201d \u201cI am, Little Baa, I\u2019m here\u201d said Ma, lying quietly beside him.<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n

Fast Food for Ben<\/b>
\nRuth Brodbeck<\/h3>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
This book, written by a paediatric nurse, midwife and lactation consultant, follows a baby\u2019s breastfeeding journey from birth to six weeks old. The premise is a familiar one \u2013 a little girl called Hana adapts to the rival of her new baby sibling. The story features all the elements you\u2019d expect, including a supportive grandma, new mother lounging her in pyjamas, father bathing the baby, relatives visiting, and so on. Interestingly a midwife takes a central role visiting the new baby at home and then weighing him when he is older. The narrative is factual and non-patronising with an appropriate level of depth: \u201cBen\u2019s tummy is only very small so he needs lots of feeding\u201d. Babywearing and extended breastfeeding are featured prominently. In one scene, an older child of at least toddler age is shown lifting his mother\u2019s top for a feed. This is refreshing to see, particularly as the scene takes place in a public setting around a dinner table with friends and relatives. Another of my favourite parts features Hana playing with her friend. \u201cMum gives baby Ben fast food from her breasts\u201d she explains as she wears a doll in a sling. Another illustration shows Hana breastfeeding a doll whilst her mother breastfeeds Ben. The retro-style felt-tipped drawings are a wash with primary colours. There are plenty of details to discuss, such as a cat nursing her kittens on the kitchen floor. Some of the illustrations are a little amateurish, for instance in a few of them, pencil sketch outlines have not been rubbed out and the characters\u2019 fingers are often misshapen. However in one sense, this adds a childlike quality to the meaningful text.<\/div>\n

Nursies When the Sun Shines<\/b>
\nKatherine Havener<\/h3>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
Here is a book of exquisite quality. First to catch the eye is the stunning watercolour illustrations. The soft pastel colours beautifully depict a peaceful night time scene. Graceful shadows linger around a bedroom. A moon glows softly through the clouds casting gentle light onto the bedroom walls. \u201cBaby, sweet baby, it\u2019s sleepy time\u201d begins the text, as we watch a cosleeping family settle down for the night. Mum, Dad and toddler snuggle in the family bed as a cat slumbers at the foot. A perfect scene for breastfeeding right? However there\u2019s no breastfeeding until morning for this toddler, because this book is all about night weaning. There are many reasons a mother may wish to night wean (for instance, desiring a return to fertility), and this book is a useful resource for reassuring young children. Throughout the book the word \u2018breastfeeding\u2019 is replaced by the word \u2018nursies\u2019. This can feel either cute or awkward, depending on your preference for correct terms. What I like about this approach is that it enables the reader to replace the word \u2018nursies\u2019 with their own special word that they use with their child to describe breastfeeding. The text explains that \u2018At night time, we sleep. Baby sleeps. Mommy sleeps. Nursies sleep.\u201d Night time is equated with darkness, so if the child wakes and it\u2019s dark out of the window, it is not yet time for \u2018nursies\u2019. At the end of the book we see the sun peaking over the window ledge and the family rousing from their sleep. \u201cIn the morning, Baby wakes up. Mommy wakes up. Nursies wake up. It\u2019s time for nursies!\u201d (Interestingly, the text and storyline appear to be taken from\u00a0THIS\u00a0book by William and Martha Sears, pages 150-151, although this is not acknowledged).<\/div>\n

A Gift for Baby<\/b>
\nJan Hunt<\/h3>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
A Gift for Baby is an warm and playful look at natural parenting with an anti-consumption message. Narrative flows from the main character \u2013 an inquisitive and confident baby. Detailed illustrations combine pencils and watercolours to bring the baby\u2019s world to life. Each page is decorated with a colourful patchwork border and displays text in both English and Spanish. The book begins with the baby discovering a giant gift-wrapped present and proceeding to guess the contents. Is it a photo? \u2013 I\u2019d rather look at Mommy! Is it a teddy bear? \u2013 I\u2019d rather hug Daddy! And so on. Other potential contents that baby shuns include a stroller in favour of being carried, a pacifier in favour of being comforted, a crib in favour of cosleeping, and here comes the cheeky part: \u201cIs it a bottle?\u201d the baby ponders. The accompanying illustration shows a thought bubble with a bottle inside. Turn the page and the baby continues, \u201cBut I like to nurse!\u201d Here, baby is shown snuggled up to his smiling mother who nurses him upon a patchwork quilt. The climax of the book finally reveals the contents of the mystery present. Of course I\u2019m not going to tell you. Suffice to say it is in line with the anti-consumption, \u2018the best things in life are free\u2019, message<\/div>\n

We\u2019re Having a Homebirth<\/b>
\nKelly Mochel<\/h3>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
The \u2018new baby\u2019 genre is littered with hospital births so \u2018We\u2019re Having a Homebirth\u2019 provides a welcome bucking of the trend. Witnessing the birth of a new sibling can be an exciting yet daunting experience for a young child. This honest and optimistic book prepares children for this event through a blend of factual narrative and simple yet colourful graphics. The full spectrum of childbirth sights and sounds are explained; the sight of naked Mum as she sways her hips like a belly dancer; the sound of the midwife offering words of encouragement; the sight of the blood and fluid as baby emerges; the sound of gulping as baby has his first breastfeed. Curiously the text uses anatomically correct terms in some areas (\u2018placenta\u2019), yet not in others (\u2018boobies\u2019). This dichotomy between non-apologetically factual details on one hand, and yet toned-down sanitised details on the other, is present throughout the book. For instance, the placenta is shown, complete with cord, and Mum has pubic hair, both of which are excellent on the realism front. However I was disappointed that the baby itself was not covered with blood and fluid, as this is an important part of preparing children for the reality of the childbirth scene. Nevertheless this book remains a brave attempt at exploring unchartered waters in children\u2019s literacy. What\u2019s more, its child-friendly size and light weight make it perfect for a midwife or doula to keep in their handbag, ready for home visits.<\/div>\n
