==========================
"CLICK, CLICK," snap and boast.
"TAP, TAP," tag and post.
#BabyLove's cutesy cover makes the book appear to be for children, but its real audience is adults. Adults reading this brightly illustrated book will be nodding their heads in agreement and chuckling over hashtags as one modern baby's day is documented, start to finish. It is modern, but it will be familiar to all ages because long before smart phones came into existence, parents have been trying to capture their babies' moments, whether posed or candid. In our instant gratification world, every moment is now shared as it happens, and there is definitely a message that sometimes the devices need to go away as baby gets overwhelmed by it all.
Little ones will likely enjoy having #BabyLove read to them and will laugh because this is their life, too. Children will especially enjoy the rhyming and colorful illustrations, which are also the work of author Corine Dehghanpisheh.
Thank you to the author and Book Publicity Services for providing me a print copy in exchange for my honest review -- the only kind I give.
Praise for #BabyLove
