Wonderful book!

My son absolutely loves this book! I bought it when he was 3 and he was completely captivated by the thorough descriptions. The adjectives in this book paint such a vivid picture in your mind! What a fantastic way to increase your child's vocabulary and develop their imagination. My son is now 4 and frequently picks out this book to be read to him before he goes to bed. We are donating a copy of this book to his preschool as part of their "Birthday Books" program. I'm sure his classmates will all enjoy this during story time. Enjoy!

Tender multi-generational care for young life.

For any family who's ever experienced the joyful expectation of a newborn baby.... with all the hope and promise for the child's life.... there are 2 titles by Rebecca Bond that are SURE to please! The warm illustrations.... rooms full of books (and no TVs!).... and the tender multi-generational love for new life --- it doesn't get any better than this! JUST LIKE A BABY and BRAVO MAURICE are the perfect "snuggle up and read-to-me" books. A word of advice: Your budding artists will want to duplicate the bright colors, textures and patterns.... Bond's art is contagious, so have the crayons, paper & paints ready!

Reader from Baltimore

Bravo Maurice is as charming as Bond's last book, Just Like A Baby. The illustrations are similar and the story equally as sweet and touching. Bravo Maurice seems to be geared towards older children- the 7-8 age range, compared to her last book, which the younger kids liked. My family and I are fans of Rebecca Bond and look forward to her next book!
