Sybille Lichtenstein Memory Book, Toot-Toot

I absolutely love this Baby Book. I was looking for a memory book for my new baby boy that was cute, functional, and had lots of space for recording memories and milestones. This book fit that description perfectly!Description:The cover has a fun vehicle theme with trains, helicopter, planes, cars, and boats. The little car in the front window is made of stiff paper and real buttons for a fun crafted look. The car cannot be removed to put a picture in like some other books. The book covers the time from conception to five years old.Breakdown of book pagesInside you will find a pages for Mommy and Daddy. There is a place for photos of each of them on their pages as well.Page 1My Mommy's full name is:But everyone likes to call her: (I thought this was a fun line for putting the parent's nicknames)She

Perfect for someone looking for a memory book that is fun and playful.Cons:The places for photos in the book do not have any way to slip them in and require either glue or tape.Pros:Because the photos have to be manually attached you can place them in any desired configuration and size of photo on many of the pages.

I searched everywhere for a book like my daughter's, because I loved hers so much, but also wanted them to have the same information. A lot of these have and ask really strange things, or leave out stuff that doesn't make sense to leave out. The layout is simple but detailed and the pages are all individually adorable. I'd have loved to have found one that was customizeable, but I guess that's a scrapbook, lol. If you have older kids, there will be some things you'll have to re-write a little bit, and possibly a couple of unused pages. Also if you don't have a shower, but two showers. There are four pages in here for people who have multiple showers, which I found a little bit strange. Some people don't even have one, especially if they have multiple children. It also asks for a newspaper clipping of their birth announcement, which most papers in big cities don't do (like mine) as well as a baby shower invitation, and a birth announcement. Everything else will be answered, but those are the iffy things just depending on you and your location. For being the best book that I could find in my price range, it gets 5 stars. -Mrs. Zotter

Good baby book that includes all the big milestones. Has two pages for the baby shower, which is very helpful. Does not have a footprint area, just handprints. The hospital would only do footprints for us, so we have to work with that. Would like a bit more room for pictures. Our plan is to paste pictures over some of the areas intended for writing.

This would get a 5-star review, except the back of the book was warped from what looks like water damage, which I didn't realize until after I'd already filled out several pages. :( Other than that, this book is great! Love the full-color pages...there's plenty of room to record all of baby's milestones. I really shopped around before buying this, and this is the best baby book by far!!

Super cute baby book for a little boy. I liked that it has a spot to fill out what was going on in the world when the baby was born. Provides areas for pictures, birth certificate, hand and footprints, doctor visits where you can fill in the details of the visit. After 12 months there are sections for each birthday up to five years. I would purchase this again for another baby shower.

This book is very cute. It's got the same entries for items as the Carters book that I have for my other child. I love that the little car on the front is made with actual buttons, very cute!

Good quality baby book - love the design and pages. Love the pages where I can write updates once a month for the first 12 months. Other books I looked at didn't have that option.

I bought this product new. It arrived in a cute box that I was pleased to pass on to my friend. It was on of her must haves on her registry.
