I LOVE MY BABY BECAUSE.... BY PAULLINA SIMONS (Hardback)

Cuddle up at bedtime with this funny and comforting debut picture book from internationally bestselling author Paullina Simons.

A mother celebrates everything her toddler can do, throughout her daily routine in this warm and comforting picture book.

And from the fun (and chaos) of getting dressed and feeding, to snuggling up for a bedtime story, there are certainly a lot of very special moments!

Full of cuddles and unconditional love, with plenty of visual humour, this celebration of toddlerhood is perfect for parent and child to share.

PreS—This story is predictable but nicely told and sweetly illustrated as a mother gives various reasons for why she loves her baby as they go about their day shopping, baking, and doing laundry together. It's a combination of Helen Oxenbury's baby books and Mem Fox's Harriet, You'll Drive Me Wild (Houghton, 2003). The toddler makes messes throughout the busy day, but the mother emphasizes that she loves her child unconditionally. The text to illustration ratio is just right, making the book perfect for baby storytimes and as a general purchase for picture-book collections.—Sarah Wilsman, Kent Free Library, Kent, OH
