Customer Reviews

Surprising!

When I opened this book, I wasn't expecting to see a big cloth trunk inside--and neither was my 11-month-old son, who was instantly delighted. The illustrations in Mama Loves Me are nice--I'm partial to blue elephants, so I was bound to like these happy characters. The text tells about things that the mother and baby elephant do together. Although these activities (like playing with lemurs) aren't things that most children have experienced, many readers will be able to relate to the warmth of the parent/child relationship. The specificity the author uses in description of the elephants' activities makes the story more interesting. There isn't much of a plot to this book, but I don't know how much plot a person can expect of a board book. Mama Loves Me is a feel-good story with an interesting format.
