4 ⭐Out of the three books in this series, so far this is the best. There is a little more thought and a little bit more work. There is a rhyming pattern. There is a cadence and it‘s like a modern head, shoulders, knees, and toes. The illustrations work well and for the first time in the series, not doing all the heavy lifting, but rather complementing the words on the page.
3 ⭐ Once again, the illustrator does all the heavy lifting in this book. It‘s well known that many kids first word is mama or mom or mommy and that often when trying to get kids to say more things they just repetitively call for Mom. This book plays on that as animals are trying to teach their children new words and all they say is mama. This is very expected after having read Dada and while it is fine it is still nothing new.
3 ⭐ I don‘t like that the illustrator does not get recognition on the cover. This book is too easy of a book for the illustrator not to get name recognition on the cover. You have various animals trying to get their child to say data and the animals respond with the sound you expect them to. That is it. The concept is cute, but by no means is this genius. The real credit in this book is the illustrator who makes this book worth reading.
“Nine months long, from start to end, a tiny baby is growing in a mothers tummy, waiting to be your friend”
I wouldn‘t use this in my classroom because it‘s not a topic I would really talk about with kids unless they had a question about it
