### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nostalgia
*by J***E on November 10, 2025*

I remember having this book when I was little so now that I have a child of my own, I of course, had to buy the book. It is a much shorter book than I remember, but it is still very cute and such a classic. The colors are very vibrant inside and they keep babies attention. It’s a board book so it holds up well and you don’t have to worry about the pages crinkling.
