I picked this up assuming it would be one of those board books that is fun for the parent but not really interesting to babies or toddlers, and was pleasantly surprised! It imagines feminist icons as babies, which is hilarious, and the overall message was great--every person who ever did a great thing started out as a baby, just like you, and you can do great things too. It appeals to parents, but it doesn't cater exclusively to them; I think loads of little baby feminists could enjoy this book too.
