Nick Jr. has teamed with Chronicle Books to produce a fun and colorful interactive book that documents a growing child's life. Filled with great activities that allow a child to discover who they are, All About Me! features favorite Nick Jr. characters such as Dora the Explorer, Little Bill, Blue, and their assorted sidekicks. On each page there is an engaging activity to chart a child's growth, dreams, and family life.

With plenty of room for pasting photographs, fill-in-the-blank pages and even a family tree to complete, this book becomes a treasured keepsake for children--a book by them about them. And we all know how important it is to document the early years, when a child is learning to express themselves and develop self-esteem and awareness.

There are special pages with room for a child to tell the story of who they are, and who they hope to become, and several educational activities that encourage learning basics like the alphabet, writing your own name, and describing what your friends and family are like. To a child, nothing is better than being able to write in a book and get away with it!

I really liked the pull-out growth chart and alphabet stencils, which my 3-year-old has already made good use of, and we had a great time filling in some of his favorite games and things to do. Some of the activities are designed for a child in school years, so this book does cover more than just the first few toddler years.

All About Me! is a delightful activity book for young children, and I highly recommend it not just for parents, but for anyone searching for a great gift for a kid, or a parent-to-be. This is the kind of book a parent can do together with the child, and then treasure for years to come.
