Customer Reviews

Great for a Baby Shower Gift

I love giving this book to all new mothers to encourage bonding and reading to the baby. I also like the fact that the children get to see images that look like them, African-American.

A great beginning for children of all colors

My family truly enjoyed sharing time together reading this book. Twelve years later this book remains on our shelf.

Black Mothergoose Booke

I absolutley love this book. It is not often that a book of this quality geared toward African American children is available. The illustrations using an African American Humpdy Dumpy are the most impressive. I read this book to my neice until she got old enough to read it herself. I feel that she had an interest in this book because the characters resembled her.
