Dara said Sooooo cute!. Such a sweet book! Bought for a baby shower gift, the baby's room is cactus themed so this was perfect. The pictures were adorable and the colors were very vibrant.

The spine has some wear which, wouldn't be an issue if it were for my kids, but it's a gift for my niece and seems cheesy to give her a used book for her birthday.
