Description
Narrated in the second person, You Are Two is a charming read-aloud that addresses the baby directly. Supersaturated ink-and-wash illustrations play with pattern and perspective and lend a contemporary, artistic feel to the book. The diverse group of babies pictured comes to life on the page and adds to the text’s warmth and broad appeal. The second in a three-book series, You Are Two is designed as a whimsical gift for toddlers or parents who will enjoy reflecting on all the highlights of the second year and expressing how much their little one is loved.

I ended up buying You Are Two for my daughter's birthday this year. It is a lovely hardcover with beautiful and vivid illustrations by Karen Klassen. Sara O'Leary touches on some milestones in a toddler's second year that really pull on a mother's heartstrings. Even though I may be a sucker for these sentimental sorts of books, this one was also a hit for the little one in our home. She enjoyed me reading it aloud to her at bedtime, and it was a great way to close out her big day of celebrating. I'd like to buy a copy of You Are One and start collecting these books as long as they are released for each year.

I love the illustrations! And I love that the book includes children of different skin tones. The story is simple and sweet without being saccharine. I can't wait till my boys are two so we can read this together.

Such unique illustrations! would make a lovely gift for a two year old!

This would make a great gift for parents on their child's birthday, and I wish there were more opportunities inside it to use as a scrapbook. The illustrations are beautiful, and there is a fair amount of negative space to allow for adding your own photos or mementos to match the milestones in the book.
That being said, it would not go over well as a read-aloud for a 2 year old -- the illustrations and concepts are too complex for a toddler audience. Older siblings might appreciate it, but this is really for a parent audience. I wouldn't order it for the library, but I may consider if it I find myself invited to a 2 year old's birthday party.
