Filmmaker Spike Lee and wife Tonya Lewis Lee join the ranks of other celebrity kids' book writers with their sweet, rhythmic read-along about the endless energy of a toddler blasting through a busy day. The Lees' diapered dynamo starts early (the VCR reads 3:01 a.m.), with the little girl outlasting her mama sprawled out on the living room floor ("Go back to bed, baby, please, baby, please"). A breakfast of upturned Cheerios follows a few hours later ("Not on your HEAD, baby baby baby, please!"), then play time, a trip to the playground, dinner, and a bath ("Please don't splash, baby baby, please, baby!"). The fun repetition doesn't change up until the book's sweet close, as the curly-haired tyke somehow can't get to sleep ("Kiss me good night? Mama, Mama, Mama, please"). The Lees have as much or more success than their high-profile counterparts (Jerry Seinfeld: Halloween, John Lithgow: Marsupial Sue; and Jamie Lee Curtis: I'm Gonna Like Me: Letting Off a Little Self-Esteem), thanks in large part to their excellent choice of illustrator Kadir Nelson, whose work has appeared everywhere from Sports Illustrated to the New Yorker. Just as he did with Will Smith's Just the Two of Us, Nelson uses his enormous talent to inject energy and emotion into each richly colored, Rockwellian spread. (Baby to preschool) --Paul Hughes

 We Read This Book Every Night! January 7, 2009
I saw this book at Wal-Mart, and picked it up just based on the title. I was trying to teach my daughter to say "please" and "thank you" at the time. Now after 8 months we still read this every night. I have tried to change it up and read a different book, but my daughter insists that we read this one every night. I love the book! It is just long enough, but yet it is short enough that she can sit through it. My daughter has heard this story so many times, she tries to read it to me now! Not to mention the phrases are perfect for teaching manners. It is very rewarding when your child starts to say "please". I would recommend this book to everyone. I can't wait to get the other book- "Please Puppy Please".
A Joy To Read December 22, 2008
This is the perfect gift for a new mom or dad and children LOVE having it read to them before bedtime. The illustrations are the most adorable I've seen in a long time. A must have!
*My Baby Loves It December 2, 2008
*My two year old son turns and recites the pages by looking at the colorful illustrations. This is a great book to read to interact with your toddler. They like the rhythm of the words and, the big bold pictures of a baby they can relate to.
 Good for toddlers. November 29, 2008
It's a cute book (definitely one exhausted parents can relate to) but I think it's more appropriate for kids aged 2-3, although my 4 year old will read it once in a while.
 Be Prepared October 2, 2008
This is my 2 year old's absolute favorite book and calls the main character by her own name because of the uncanny resemblance in both appearance and personality. We both love the rhythm and the illustrations, but I held one star back because I believe that it inspired some naughty behaviors. I definitely noticed more sand eating and wall art after we had read the book a few times. So be prepared!
