Customer Reviews of Carter's Once Upon a Time Record Book

Customer Review: exactly what I was looking for
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this to replace an old baby book I had by Gibson, because I got sick of the thing. Most of it just consisted of just blank onesided pages with titles and very little to it overall. They didn't even bother putting lines on the pages, which made it a difficult trying to write in a straight line. It was a CHORE to fill out. Very bland and ugly.

Then a few weeks ago I found this book on Amazon, and I was amazed how much better it was! First off, the carters book was actually fun to put together. On ever page, you get plenty of prompts and fill-in-the-blank to help you write, so you aren't constantly struggling with a writers block. It is written in first person like a children's story book. For example, it starts off: "Once upon a time long long ago on the most splendid day of _____, ____ and ____ heard the news that a baby was on the way." It's colorful, fun and has places to glue in lots of pictures. I am sure it will be something my kids can enjoy looking through as much as I do.

Secondly, it's very comprehensive. Here's a rough list of what is included in the book, since it doesn't say on the product description:
what happened before baby was born
ultrasound pic
preparing for baby
all about mom and dad
how mom & dad met
baby shower
letters from mom & dad
all about baby
what happened when baby was born
mom & dads reactions
first days home
hand and foot print (one of each)
birth certificate
what was going on in the world (world leaders, popular movies, price of gas, etc)
newspaper clipping
birth announcements
description of home and nursury
growth chart
first doctor visit
favorite song
favorite outfits
immunizations chart
first time sick
eating
sleeping & bedtime routines
brushing teeth
tooth chart
bathing
haircut

I am done with all the pages I can fill out for now, after spending perhaps 4 evenings working on it off and on. It was a fun project.

Desite this, there are a few thigns I do not care for in this book:
There is no envelope to put the locke of hair. It doesn't seem right just gluing the hair to the page like the book tells you to. I salvaged the envelope from the old gibson baby book.
It has a page where you are supposed to glue a news paper clipping from the day the baby was born. Who gets newspapers anymore? Or has time to go out and buy a newspaper then?
On the bottom of one page it mentions something about the names and ages of your other kids and pets when the baby was born. We had to leave all of that blank because this is our first baby and we don't have pets. I don't think it should have been worded like that. A simple chart where you could fill in names of siblings and/or pets as they come would have worked out much better.

Other than those minor problems, I am looking forward to buying a second copy of this book for our next child.
