“A powerful teaching tool, this amazing little book makes SIDS prevention education at once fun to read and visually entertaining.” —Dr. Jeanne Ballard, MD, author, The New Ballard Score on Sleep Baby, Safe and Snug

“An exemplary, inspired new advocacy tool for SIDS prevention, and would make an ideal gift for parents as well as a powerful adjunct for pediatricians and providers. I strongly recommend it.” —Rachel Y. Moon, MD, professor of pediatrics, Children’s National Medical Center on Sleep Baby, Safe and Snug

“These books work on so many levels, with poetry to hear, pictures to talk about, and a powerful message. They give children just the sort of delightful and mind-expanding experiences they need, while leading parents to see the child’s world through a creative and joyful lens. Wonderful medicine for an overly electronic age!” —Dr. Robert Needlman, MD, associate professor of pediatrics, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, and cofounder, Reach Out and Read, on the Baby Unplugged series
