Boom Baby Boom Boom

By Margaret Mahy

Book Overview

When Mama tells Baby that she's made a lovely lunch for him, she doesn't know that the animals are listening at the window. And they are much hungrier than Baby. While Mama bangs on her drums - boom-biddy-boom-biddy-boom-boom-boom - the yellow cat, the brown dog, the red rooster, the black-faced sheep and the brown-and-white cow each eats a titbit thrown on the floor by Baby. Good Baby, who has eaten all his dinner, gets a banana for pudding and, this time, he eats it all up. Boom-biddy-boom-biddy-yum-yum-yum

Children will love joining in the story as the animals enter one by one to gobble up the baby's lunch in this wonderful read-aloud story from bestselling author Margaret Mahy and beloved illustrator Margaret Chamberlain.

Customer Reviews

Boom Biddy Boom Biddy

Lunch time for baby brings some surprising visitors while mom plays the drums. This story has a nice rhythmic chant and wonderful use of alliteration with the "B" sound. It introduces new vocabulary and some great describing words for young children. Patricia MacCarthy's illustrations are vivid and colorful and contribute to the overall experience of the fun to be had in reading this book.

My two year old loves this book!

This book is great to read out loud. We discovered this at the library and have added it to our home library because we all love the story and pictures. It has fun and snappy word sequences that make it appealing to very young children, and I think my daughter will enjoy it for several years.
