Your Baby's First Word Will Be DADA

I purchased this for my SIL. They are expecting their first baby. It is so cute and funny. BTW Jimmy Fallons daughter’s first word was Mama!

My son loves this book! It is simple, but cute and the animal noises are a hit. He says “dada” inconsistently, but wants to read this book every day

Great book to focus on dads!

Got this for first fathers day for my husband. I used it as his card and wrote inside it and inserted polaroids. Unfortunately my home was flooded and we lost the book. Such a cute book tho for being simplistic.

Super cute book. Perfect for my 1 year old granddaughter

See this review and more at: http://idiosyncraticlibrary.com/?p=419Sometimes I think being a first time father of a newborn must feel like being a relief pitcher in the major leagues. Yes, you're an important part of the team. Just like a relief pitcher, you're essential during innings 7 and 8, when Mom is desperate for five minutes just to take a shower. Its up to you, Dad to come in with a fresh arm and a clean diaper. At contract time, you were sought after, courted. You beat out the hopeless boyfriends from college and the sad sacks from the office. That's why you're here in the majors, smiling for that perfect family Holiday card and folding a stroller that costs more than the Kelly Blue Book value of your first car. No one doubts that your talent and skill are essential for the success of the team, but lets face it, if your inning and a half of pitching doesn't result in a lost baby, or a 911 call, chances are all ESPN will have to say is: "one and a third solid innings from Fallon."Let's face it, Mom is the starter on this team. She's the one everyone is focused on. Does she bottle feed or is she a southpaw? She's the one with the cushy amenities in the locker room, the mommy playdates, the advice books, the baby shower. And if you're team's got a closer, chances are it's Grandma, who takes the baby when he's been crying for an hour, or steps in for date night (a thing you thought you got away from when you left the minors, but whatever). It can leave a Dad feeling like he's been sent to the showers.That's where, Your Baby's First Word Will Be Dada comes in. Written by actor, comedian and late night TV host Jimmy Fallon, this is the perfect book for dads who refuse to be pushed into obscurity. Speaking directly to new fathers, the very title of Fallon's book promises new fathers camaraderie and togetherness, and an assurance that you, as Dads, won't be brushed to the side, a forgotten stat.Although it was published earlier this year as a picture book, I prefer this recently released board book format. The format is more suited to the simple sweet tone of the book where Daddy animals grumpily, relentlessly, worriedly and hopefully coach their babies into saying Dada, only to be greeted by meows, squeaks and quacks. Board books, with their thick, drool proof pages and small, tuck-it-in-the-diaper-bag sizing, are designed for a much younger baby, and a much newer father, who may feel more left out of the process than the father of an older, picture book ready child. With charming and cheerful illustrations and easy to read text, this is also a good choice for the family with both a newborn and an early reader.Brush off your cleats, warm up that arm, and get ready to pitch, Dads. The whole team is counting on you.

We love this book. It’s a great for baby who just starting to learn new words. My baby got his word dada by this book. He loves looking at the pictures too. It has really good illustrations and great way to help babies find their words.

Cute baby shower gift

My son loves these Jimmy Fallon books. He likes the illustrations. It’s a very simple, easy read which is perfect for toddlers who flip through pages fast. The board book is good because my baby could flip through himself at a few months old. Will be good when he’s older too, because it’s an easy book to learn to read. He likes when I make the animals noise while reading it. Overall really cute :) and even a little funny.

I bought this as a Father’s Day gift for my partner. The simple and fun pictures have kept my baby’s attention since she was 6 months old and she loves it when her dad makes all the animal noises. They read it at least once a day.

Muy buen libro en Ingles donde hace un repaso de animales y los sonidos. Le encanta a nuestra hija

If you are a new dad, you and your baby must read this! Just so your baby learns to say 'Dada' or 'Daddy' first. Although they won't, trust me, because mothers always win in this regard. But, this book is perfect for bonding with your loved ones.Get your toddler to learn about different animals, the sounds they make; and in the process, get them to probably say 'Dada'.

The Dad to be was very pleased by this present and cannot wait to read it to his baby!
