Mommy! Mommy!

Board Book

In this popular international children's book, two chicks go looking for their mother hen. It's a fun search-and-find interactive book with simple texts such as "Mommy! Mommy!" I would give this a 4 out of 5 for its playful yet easy to understand storyline and illustrations.

The Runaway Bunny

Board Books

The Runaway Bunny is about a bunny that wants to runaway. He tells his mother of the different roles in which he would take on in order to do so, such as a fish in the stream, a rock on the mountain, and a sail boat sailing away. The mother assures him that wherever he goes, she will find a way to be with him. Clement Hurd's illustrations change from black and white to color, which kept me on my toes and intrigued. 4 out of 5 for this charming book!

I hear

Board Books

Helen Oxenbury writes many children's books that introduce the different senses a baby begins to experience. I hear presents the sounds of such things as a dog barking, a watch ticking, and a bird singing. I rate it a 5 out of 5 because the images are simple and realistic and allow the child to focus on one thing at a time. Great way to begin the sense of sound!
