This book was adorable, and would be a great way to teach children about caring for the environment. The illustrations were beautiful, and I could see this book initiating conversations that wouldn’t normally come up otherwise. I loved it!

Simple, bright, just the right size for baby. This A-Z children's book uses bright pictures and conservation-related terms to introduce children to important ecologically responsible terms. This would make a good gift around Earth Day or for conservation-minded new parents.

A cute ABC book about earth and being a good global citizen. This book introduces many interesting words and concepts, like natural resources, sustainable, etc. The words and pictures will spur questions and conversations. As some of the words and topics are a bit advanced, like equilibrium, I would recommend this book for 4-6 year olds.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC.

The illustrations are bright and attractive, perfect for keeping attention on the book. The words are a bit big for a baby but overall really cute and fun.

Introduction to important concepts in saving our planet. Child-like illustrations with muted earth tones create a soothing view for the eyes about important subject of ways we can save our earth. Concepts are a jumping off point for further discussion with older children.

What an adorable book! While some of the words are a little big for the age range it's geared towards, but it opens up a dialogue for parents to talk to their kids about what these words mean and how it is connected to the Earth and being eco-friendly. I absolutely love the illustrations, they were my favorite part of the book! What a fun book!

Instagram Review-Thank you, Net Galley and Quartokids for this precious book! When it releases in August 2020, I will be buying it. This is an awesome ABC board book with words like "conservation" and "atmosphere" to teach baby about our planet. Best for little friends-toddlers-since it is just one word and not an explanation of each term.

I am very excited about this book. I think it is very important to teach children to be good with nature and in my opinion you cannot start early enough. However I think the target audience is older children and not babies. the words are quite difficult and not understandable for the youngest children. I also loved the illustrations!

An environmental A-Z to young readers.Our environment needs tender loving care and this can be helpful in explaining children about important things related to preserving nature.

This was definitely a cute little book. I find this perfect to read to toddlers working on ABCs and new sounds as well as vocabulary. My 3 year old sat and listened to this with me. He tries to pronounce the words and pointed out letters and the different pictures that he knew. It would also be a really great book for elementary and even upper level school age kids. Teachers would love this to include in their science classes even though it is obviously geared towards toddlers and younger children. I would buy this for my own middle school classroom. Great illustrations too. Realistic, but also suitable for younger ages.

My 7 year old loved this book. She loves the words used throughout the book that pertain to keeping the Earth safe. She also loves the pictures and she says the book was peaceful for her.

This is an excellent book to teach your little one how they can better care for the Earth. Illustrations were vibrant and matched the word associated with the letter very well. It would be a perfect book for celebrating Earth Day.

I was given an eARC of this board book in return for an honest review, thanks to the publisher and NetGalley.
Both me and my daughter thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is a great way to teach children their ABC’s and ways to love the earth. The illustrations accompanying the text were cute and also helpful. I even learnt some new words, like Kapok.
Of course, some of the letters deemed a problem, such as Q and X. However, I liked the way Eckford resolved the issue i.e. using the word eQuilibrium and coeXist.
I did find that some word meanings repeated themselves, such as R for recycle and U for use again. Maybe U could have been upcycle.
All in all, this is a wonderful book for reading to your baby and an encouraging way to look after the world and be more sustainable, even from a young age.
This book will be available to buy on Amazon from August 4th 2020 for £8.99

From atmosphere, to biodegradable, to sustainable, this beautiful little ABC board book is a wonderful way to teach young children how to enjoy, protect and preserve our planet.

With charming and colourful illustrations, Baby Loves: Earth is a perfect introduction to this very important topic.

Other titles in the series that encourage wellness and awareness in young children include, Baby Loves Calm: An ABC of Mindfulness, Baby Loves Yoga: An ABC of First Poses and Baby Loves Vegan: An ABC of Plant Food.

Baby Loves: Earth is a beautiful little book for toddlers. It's an A-Z of words associated with conservation and the environment, such as P is for Protect. Each page has cute illustrations to accompany each word. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my digital copy.

It is a very cute book with cute illustrations. It teaches children about the earth related words from A to Z. It's an important book too since the environment is worsening with every passing day, the children, who are the next generation, needs to be aware of what they are going to face from an early age and be alert about it.

It'brilliant, give this book to your kid when they start learning alphabets. I think I would do the same if I have a kid. How to introduce environmental topics from a young age this book might be a solution. Besides the topic, I like also the illustrations in this book, the color palette is cheerful, suitable for kids.

I spotted this on Netgalley and wanted to read it because I am interested in environmental issues, teach about them in school and intend to raise my child to be aware of issues such as climate change and the need to live sustainably. While the target audience for this is said to be toddlers, there are some very tricky words in here such as atmosphere, biodegradeable, etc. I think that the artwork and simple format will appeal to younger children reading with an adult, and it could be a great starting point for a conversation if you can explain the difficult terminology in a kid-friendly way. However, this would not be suitable for younger readers to access independently.
I would use this in my primary classroom for children aged 7+ as a friendly way to introduce topic-related vocabulary before beginning harder reading tasks. A beautiful and topical book with lots of possible uses, even for children who are older than the target audience.
Longer review, complete with pictures, to come on the blog.
(Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for my e-ARC)

This was a cute environmentally written alphabet book. I do feel like it has somewhat of a political bend to the left. I'm not upset about it, I thought it was good to have the spotlight shown on environmental topics, however I'm not sure if my young child will be able to pronounce atmosphere very easily (as opposed to apple). But the illustrations were nice and I think it would be a cute gift.

It's never too early to expose children to positive ideas that might help shape our future. Baby Loves: Earth does just that. One in a series of pocket-sized books with a special theme, aimed at preschool aged children. 'Earth' is an alphabet book with words that connect people and the environment. Very nice illustrations should appeal to children and help as parents, caregivers and teachers share this sweet book with young ones.

I would call this book a conversation starter. Many of the words are advanced, and will advance, the thinking abilities of young minds. Teaching the alphabet and teaching about the earth, it's care, and our place in it-- should be a priority for us all. I picture this book allowing children to ask questions and those telling the story to create an imaginative world of understanding based on the simple, single word prompts this book provides. A great learning tool.

I received this book from the publisher through NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.

This A- Z book is a must for anyone who wants to protect the world. I think children would like the bright illustrations and parents would like the explaining about being eco friendly and protecting the planet. Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to review this book.

This is the alphabet book all young ones need to have, its bold, bright and teaches important words about our environment and sustainability.

Another in the "Baby loves..." alphabet series, this is also a very sweet addition to any child's library. This book would serve as a good conversation starter with older kids and is visually very pleasing for younger ones. The design of the graphics is distinctive, and very modern and fresh. I really liked how the emphasis was not on people in the images, but the things we need to be more mindful of in our environment.

I requested and received an e-ARC of this book from NetGalley and Quatro Publishing Group in exchange for my honest opinion.

Not sure how Q is for equilibrium, but I do love the fact that the Baby Loves books use larger words for their alphabet. The little ones may not be able to pronounce or understand the words to begin with, but this book is a great way to expand their vocabulary and encourage conversations about the words they are hearing. This book also enables conversations about taking care of our planet with words like Zero Waste and Sustainable.

This is a cute take on the alphabet for toddlers of environmentally conscious parents. Let’s get kids started young with learning about taking care of the environment. I love the illustrations!

The illustrations and overall concept of this baby book is wonderful! I love that it goes through the alphabet but also encourages meaningful topics and could be used towards older kids to create important conversations and teachable moments.

This is a beautiful book and a lovely gift but the words seem aimed at older children but the layout is better suited to younger children so feels mismatched

Was this review helpful?

Baby Loves: Earth by Jennifer Eckford is a beautifully illustrated A-Z book aimed at young children. The A-Z is based around the earth and sustainability meaning that children can learn how to be more eco-friendly during their read.

Although this book is aimed at young children alot of the words are quite difficult and advance for that age and the words themselves would be suited more at age 7+.

Perfect for those with both young and older children.

I love that this book manages to follow a specific theme of words! Really helpful for children and/or English learners that they have the opportunity to look in picture books like these to extend their vocabulary with the support of these wonderful pictures! A lot of these words are difficult and would maybe require a bit more specific pictures to be understood, but overall a really good picture book!

This is a sweet book, to introduce the words and reasons to save the earth and be eco. We try our best to create and eco home, and this book adds to it. It had lovely illustrations. Some of the words are multi-syllabic and harder, so are there for when they progress, and are more for the idea and sounds. It's a great book!

An ABC book for the current environmental focus in the world. The book is well illustrated and visually stimulating for small children.

I thought the illustrations and the concept were great!
I love the words as part of an actual world and as an introduction to a loving caring inclusive baby.
I believe this book is more for parents since babies won't be reading it.
Being that said.. as a guide for parents is great reminder of great words to teach the little one, setting the example at home.

Baby Loves: Earth is a wonderful new ABC book that focuses on concepts important to the Earth and conservation! It can be used as a conversation starter with an older little one, or simply a simple ABC book for a younger little one to introduce new words and concepts.

Loved this ABC book for kids. The only thing that would have made it better was leaving out free range. Animal diets harm our plants. And v for vegan is best! Excellent illustrations and a great way for babies and toddlers to learn alternative and sustainable words in their blooming vocabularies.

There are important books and IMPORTANT books. This is one of these. We need children to understand that we must take care of our planet, as it is our only home.
