The listing, MAMA LOVES ME a BEAUTIFUL BOARD BOOK has ended.
Written by mara van fleet
illustrated by claudine gevry
a sweet litle elephant shares his appreciation for all the things his mother can do with her fabulous trunk. little listerners wil enjoy playing with the cloth covered blue spring that runs throughout the book and captures the movement of a real trunk. a special pop up that appears on the fianl pages brings this story to a fitting close.
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.
used hardback in good shape.
