When did your baby first smile? Or sit, or walk? Little achievements like these, if not recorded at the time, will soon be just vague memories. This book provides a perfect way to keep the fleeting details in one place, together with important information such as vaccinations and illnesses. Illustrated with Kate Greenaway's beautiful vignettes of early childhood, and sprinkled with sparkly stars, the book has space for photographs, mementos and personal notes. It will build up into a valuable record of your child's growth and development, from birth right through to the first term at school.

A baby's first year is full of landmarks: the first smile, first bath, first photograph, first toy, first full night's sleep, first crawl, first wave, first steps, first tooth, first word - a record list of firsts. The Kate Greenaway First Year Baby Book has been designed so that parents can record these little achievements as they happen, from the day of the birth through to the first birthday. It contains checklists which help parents monitor their child's progress, with spaces to record immunizations as well as physical and behavioural developments such as the first unsupported sit or the child's first response to its own name.

Selection of flower-related verses-including "To a Mountain Daisy" by Robert Burns-appears at back of book. 85 full-color illustrations.
