"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 "In the colorful cartoon illustrations, both the glamorous bubbe -- complete with bold clothing, accessories, and facial expressions -- and her exuberant speech seem to jump off the bright pages of the book.

" --Booklist "[Rosenthal's] words and pic­tures present an old­er woman with a sense of style, secure in her age, who embod­ies the best char­ac­ter­is­tics of grand­moth­er­ly love. Chil­dren will rec­og­nize their grand­moth­ers, and adults will kvell at the implic­it note of pride." --Jewish Book Council.
