Customer Reviews

Great story for big brother and little sister!

This is a beautiful story about a mother, her little boy, and baby sister. My son, who is 3 and about to be a big brother, loves it. The boy in the story asks the mother questions about the farm animals and she answers so sweetly, including the boy and his baby sister in the answers. The illustrations also are soft and realistic. An excellent buy.

Momma, Will You

This is one of my daycare's favorite books. I stumbled on it an our library in the city and had to buy it for my little ones. Is is great. I think it works very well for kids 6 and under but my afterschool kids wanted to read it also.

Rhyming Fun

A whimsical rhyming conversation between a mother and her child. Set on a farm, it shows the numerous questions asked of a toddler and the answers his seemingly stay-at-home mom provides for him. The illustrations are high quality and realistic. This may feel like the family down the street.

Beautiful Art, Lovely Poem - a review of "Momma, Will You?"

Momma, will you wash the pig? Yes or no or maybe? In the tub! He's not too big. Wash him with our baby. [Fortunately the answer is one this mom thinks is okay-lol] Yes, We'll wash the little pig, But not in baby's tub! First we'll wash our baby's cheeks And give your knees a scrub. This is the basic format of the wonderful text in this book. A small boy asks his mother if she is going to do something: "Yes, or no or maybe?". And momma gives him a warm poetic answer. Will she milk the cow? Fetch the dog? Catch a wren? Well- yes or no or maybe. Four Stars. [B+]. Beautiful full-page paintings adorn this book. They are simply luscious and sweet. The rhyme is nice and the vocabulary is simple enough that a first grader should be able to read it with assistance. [My daughter is almost 6 and we took turns reading the child's questions and the mother's answers.] Great read-aloud. Good addition to home shelves.
