Wonderful Fun

My daughter isn't quite two yet, but the big, bright illustrations make this one of the books she brings to me to read to her. Between the brief, rhythmic text and the expressive pictures, it's one of her, (and my) favorites.

Sunshine on every page...

The beauty of a mother's love is presented in full page art and rhythmic text. A mother plays with her baby and copies the sounds and sights of the world. As she shows her child the world, the most precious gift is her love. Kate Banks has written a number of picture books, including, And If the Moon Could Talk. Karin Littlewood's watercolors show the wind that blows softly, animals that coo and cluck, rain that falls gently, the sunshine and the blackness of night. The love between mother and child and the sheer love of life as seen from a babies eyes is vividly portrayed. You will spend longer looking at the pictures than reading the verse. *** Baby Cries. Mama lifts him up. She turns him in a circle, around and around. You are turning like the world, Little Baby," she says. A joyous celebration of mother and child! ~The Rebecca Review
