You will read it over and over. My twin daughters and I love this book. The simple poetry and the beuatiful pictures capture the attention of my little ones every time.
Tina from CA
Wonderful Infant Book. I bought Mama Mama, and my 13 month old loves it! I dare you to get through it without tearing up. I cannot. The pictures are so sweet and reassuring for a little one. Even my 5 year old loves this book. It is a sturdy board book so it is durable also. The book comes from an Attachment Parenting view, showing animals loving their offspring: a panda holds her baby with the text: "Mama Mama hold me tight, we sleep a cozy sleep tonight." There is also a leopard that is nursing her cub with the text:" Mama Mama soft as silk, give me warmth and give me milk." I would recommend this book whole-heartedly
From Library Journal
PreS-Softly colored double-page spreads feature realistic-looking animal mothers (lioness, leopard, chimpanzee, koala, panda, elephant, and sea otter) and their babies, while simple four-line rhymes celebrate the love and care they give to them: "Mama, Mama,/Play with me,/Carry me/So I can see" or "Mama, Mama,/Show the way,/I am learning/Every day." Most libraries with board-book collections will want at least one copy of this gentle tribute to mothers and their little ones.-Lisa Falk, Los Angeles Public Library Copyright 1999 Cahners Business Information
