Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Misleading Headings Comment: I bought this book because I liked how it had so many sections for the baby's family history. Reading the reviews above, people commented that it only asks for the Dad's information. It is just extremely poorly written; the sections titled "My Grandparents" are actually for the mother to fill in not for the baby's grandparent information. These headings are not even consistent in referring to the mother in the "my" sections. Unfortunately I only figured this out after I had filled in about 5 pages for the baby's perspective, as most baby books are formatted. My husband and I had both read through the headings before filling out the pages and it was still confusing. As long as you know this the book is fine. I am not happy with it because the book is now ruined since the wrong pages were filled out. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Comment: I already had one copy of this book for another child and so these will be used for my twins. It is so nice because there is space for memories and also pictures. Great for someone who isn't big on scrap booking, but still wants to record memories of a child and of their family. I love it. Customer Rating: Summary: Mom Remembers Review Comment: I think it's a neat book that I plan to give my son one day so he has a history of his family. It's easy to fill out and fun! Customer Rating: Summary: Disappointed at chauvinist skew of this book Comment: I really like the lay-out of this book, it's easy to fill in, the illustrations are great and lots of room for pictures. I began filling in the pages and came to a point in the questions that I found odd, it asked how Dad and Grandpa earned their livings, but not Mom or Grandma. Strange, but okay, maybe the original print of the book was from the Cleaver era. As I continued filling in, I came to the sections for background information pertaining to "Dad's Mother's Parents" and "Dad's Father's Parents," but there are no sections for information about Mom's parents. I thought maybe it was a misprint. However I am now at another section about Dad's Parents, how they met, where they were married, etc. But again no section to fill in about Mom's Parents' courtship. It's as though the maternal grandparent's don't matter. When the heck was the original printing of this book?? If I hadn't already written in it I would return it. If this doesn't seem like it would bother you, then the book is a great easy way to fill in memories. However, I happen to think my heritage is just as important as my husbands. Hope this was helpful. Customer Rating: Summary: Not for single mothers Comment: It's a nice book except it doesn't work if you are a single mother. There is a good portion of the book dedicated to memories of "Dad," including when Mom and Dad met, when they were engaged, married, who Dad's parents are, and so on. If it were just a page or two I could work around this by pasting pictures on those pages but it really takes up quite a bit of the book. This isn't something you would know by reading the book's description or other reviews. More Reviews
