There are some American English words used, but nothing that jolts. You could spend quite a bit of time on every page, pointing out different things or talking through the scenes with small ones. What really makes this book, however, are the warm, detailed illustrations by Marla Frazee. They're sure to be lulled by the easy, melodic rhyme. This book pulls at your heart strings and seems absolutely perfect for snuggling up with little ones. Read along as they are cuddled and carried, make friends and learn to crawl or walk. It's a true celebration of babies and the joy and giggles they bring. This gorgeous board book follows all sorts of babies – 'small babies, tall babies, winter and spring babies' – over the course of a year. (Apr.'Every day, everywhere, babies are born.' A charming paean to the adoration (and accessories) that families lavish on their offspring. just as they are!""), it's Frazee's canny wit that tips the work away from sentimentality to evoke a wide range of emotions.
Rhyming text in smaller type elaborates on each theme: e.g., to ""Every day, everywhere, babies are carried "" Meyers adds, ""in backpacks, in front packs, in slings, and in strollers, in car seats, and bike seats, and on Daddy's shoulders.""

""Every day, everywhere,"" as each spread announces in hand-lettered display type, babies are either collecting kisses, getting schlepped, exhausting their parents (a state that Frazee portrays with knowing and hilarious precision), toddling or growing. The pages that follow prove that ministering to babies is all-pervasive as well. ""Every day, everywhere, babies are born,"" writes Meyers (Hello Jenny), as Frazee (The Seven Silly Eaters) presents the first in a series of wry, elegant watercolor vignettes: a row of multiracial, swaddled newborns whose expressions range from ""How did I get here?"" to utter boredom.
