A fun ABC book for fashion forward parents! A unique entry in the normally monotonous category of ABC books for toddlers. This would be a great gift for parents to be!

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC.

This is such a cute ABC book using common fashion terms for common baby things.

Cute, bright pictures.

When I same common baby things, we have the word Quilted, which means, yeah, a quilt for babies, and in fashion means that it is multi-layered textiles sewn together to make a thicker padded material.

You don't need to know what the fashion term means, to enjoy the book, although you get more of the humor that way, such as the Distressed term used on a child crying, even though it means material that has been worked on to look as though it has been well-worn.

Thanks to Netgalley or making this book available for an honest review

F is for Fashion, Darling takes iconic words and phrases from the world of fashion and imbues them with tongue-in-cheek meanings for new parents e.g. Distressed is matched with a picture of a crying child. While babies will be attracted to the bold, vibrant illustrations of this board book, I think this is definitely one grown-ups will enjoy more and have a little chuckle while reading. I can imagine this being bought as a baby shower gift or as a jokey present for a friend who has just become a new parent.

If you have an adult in your life who is having a baby they would love this book. Children could read it, but the words and ideas in it are more adult. Would be a fun baby shower gift.

I love 'F is for fashion, darling'. It's such an innovative take on the common ABC book. It's entertaining for both kids and adults.

This was one of those children’s books that are more for adults than kids. The different letters of the alphabet were not the most child-friendly. For example, I wouldn’t want to have to explain what a nip-slip is to my child. I was disappointed because they could have used designer names, clothing items, or so many other things for the alphabet. The illustrations were bright and reminded me of the 70s, but that was what I liked the most about the book.

A precious book for the tiny fashionista! The A-Z for every fashion lover, this is the perfect baby shower gift! I loved the fashion glossary. It was the perfect touch to the end!

I adore this colorful alphabet book perfect for babies and parents alike! The illustrations are chic and cheeky, with a focus on fashion and double-meaning for new parents adapting to a new life. Why, there’s even a dictionary to explain fashion terms. In an Instagram world, that’s probably not needed but it sure is fun. 5 Snazzy Stars, Darling!

The cutest! A perfect gift for the chicest new mums, this book is a non traditional approach to the “A is for.....” style and is very fun. The illustrations are simple but gorgeous. I will definitely be gifting this title in the future, I know some fashion forward mamas who will just love it

The minute I was accepted to preview this book, I downloaded and read it immediately. This will be the #1 book I send to all my friends with new babies, to their grandparents, and to the adults I know who love fashion as I do. A “stylish” way to learn the alphabet, with wonderful illustrations and a dictionary in the back to explain the terms used....although what fashionista wouldn’t?
Love, love, love it. Refreshingly delightful and original.

PS just preordered 2 copies for my grandchildren
