A beautiful story for anyone who loves theatre, told through delightful illustrations. Heartwarming and entertained. The only thing is that I wish is was longer. Neverless, it was a cute reading.

Broadway Baby by Russell Miller and Judith A. Proffer is a cute children's picture book for all the Broadway fans out there. It feels a little like a before bedtime book as the baby main character appears to be dreaming throughout the story. The pictures are nice and portray several aspects of stage life, while the script is rhymey and fun for kids of all ages. I'm always looking for more books about musicals, so I was glad to give this one a try. and it was a solid effort.

Brought a smile to my face. This diaper wearing toddler has big dreams. He wants to sing, dance, to see his name in lights. The illustrations are brilliant. The prose, catchy and fun.


Awesome book to acquire for parents or grandparents who know an extroverted young one. Who loves attention. Loves to sing and dance. I know one in my own family.

Broadway Baby by Russell Miller and Judith A. Proffer was an adorable little love letter to the Great White Way, with references to classic shows like Oklahoma! and Cabaret. The illustrations were sweet, with a lot of visual references to musical theater and the text was simple enough to be a good read-aloud for kids or adults.

Thanks to NetGalley for the eARC.

As a huge Broadway fan, I will definitely be purchasing this for my fellow theater lover's future babies! I loved some of the Easter eggs for shows in the illustrations and in the text. A sweet baby book!

Well isn’t this just the cutest book! I had the biggest grin on my face after reading this book. The text is fun and engaging and the illustrations bright and cheerful! An absolutely adorable book for any young child’s library!

I love this inspiring book with it's phenomenal happy up-beat vibe and stunning detailed illustrations. It encourages babies to dream big and follow those dreams and their hearts.

I have always loved the theatre and was a drama teacher myself so this tale is very close to my own heart. "Broadway Baby" is a delightful rhyming book and truly a love letter to glittering Broadway.

It is a celebration of aspiration, imagination and creativity. I highly, highly recommend it. It is a winner and kids will love it!

Super cute children’s story. All about a baby that dreams about broadway and all the adventures and thrill they experience living the stage life. It is a book suitable for those between the ages of 2-5. Always love when a children’s book has rhyming words.

The illustrations were done well, with great detail and just matched the vibes of the story very well.

Thank you to NetGalley and IPG, Meteor 17 Books for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is way too cute; it's about a baby who dreams of being on Broadway. And since it's written in verse, it feels almost like a song. The illustrations are so intricate - tons of fun little details I can't wait to see on full-size pages. It's also a lovely reminder of the power of live theater, and how some people have that love from a young age.

I loved this book!

It was bright, colourful and really engaging

I loved the narrative and the illustrations were perfect.

I have been lucky enough to visit Broadway a couple of times and this book showcases all the glitz and glamour in a few pages.

It is a lovely little book and would be great as a keepsake for any children lucky enough to go there too.

It is 5 stars from me to this one – it really is a love letter to Broadway!

What a fun read! My daughter loved this story and related to it as she likes does dance and it brought up memories of her time performing on stage and as she gets ready for her next performance! She thought it was so fun and cute and really loved the pictures. The illustrations were amazing and i loved how they portrayed the baby’s dream of the stage. Like with the mirror. I think this is a perfect read for any kid who has aspirations of going on the stage! Or any child really not to give up on their dreams.

This toddler has some big dreams! And that’s full of glitter and glamour!

Just reading this colourful book about the kid makes me want to start dreaming a whole new bigger dream. The cover is fun, the contents quite entertaining and colourful and yes, you will not be able to ignore the glam!

A fun one!

Thank you, Meteor 17 Books, for the advance reading copy.

What an adorable and whimsical story to teach babies to dream big! I love theatre and have loved the stage since I was a little girl so I knew I had to read this ARC as soon as I saw it. This really is a love letter to Broadway and it is conveyed through lovely rhymes and beautiful illustrations (I even recognized a lot of New York's favorite shows got a few cameos in there). I usually don't review a lot of children's books, but I couldn't resist. This put such a big smile on my face and I can't wait for this book to validate a little kid's dreams of stardom!

4.5 "put on your tap shoes and melt the heart" stars !!!

Wowza...I got all misty and starry eyed while perusing this children's picture book. I read it three times and sang it to my partner a la Liza Minelli !

Baby's first trip to broadway as a spectator and then imagines themself as a STAR ! A REAL BROADWAY BABY STAR !!

The rhyming verse is a hoot and so sweet and funny ! The illustrations are an absolute dream and the child in question could be a boy or girl or any other gender really. Love that !!

Adored this little book and is suitable to all your tiny singers and dancers ages 3 to 6 !

Going to kick up my heels and listen to Evita ! Yasssss !

I made it to Brodway...my dreams took me far...and now it's my bedtime. Goodnight little star.
