""This book deserves every exclamation point!! I kvelled (and giggled) my way through it. It reminded me of all my old aunties whenever a new Yolen baby was born. I laughed my tuchus off!!"" —Jane Yolen, Jewish Grandmother and author of How Do Dinosaurs Say Happy Chanukah and Owl Moon ""How well do you kvell? Robin Rosenthal’s 'Sweet Babe!' is a master class in the art of over-the-top grandparental adoration. This bubbe wears modern yoga clothes, but I think she could outkvell my great-grandmother! A diagram and Yiddish glossary at the end provide assurance that this is an educational document, in case you think it’s just a brilliantly designed, hilarious explosion of unlimited baby-love."" —Paul O. Zelinsky, Caldecott-winning author/illustrator of Rapunzel and The Wheels on the Bus and illustrator of All-of-a-Kind Family Hanukkah and Red and Green and Blue and White ""Beginning and ending with a game of peekaboo, it's a work truly focused on unadulterated kvelling, expressing cross-generational love through two sets of wide eyes and operatic text that speaks to an unalloyed bond."" —Publishers Weekly ""Joyous, uplifting, and pure fun — a perfect read for grannies babysitting their own bubbelehs."" —Kirkus Reviews
