My Mommy
By Susan Paradis
This was a very interesting book, and took me by surprise when I read it. I just assumed it would be a cute little book about a mom and a little girl when I saw the cover. Although this book was a story about the daily activities the mother and daughter do together, there were some interesting pieces to it. On every page, there was a picture of a mother animal with her baby animal. One of the pictures shows the mom helping her daughter do her hair, while a mom monkey combs through her babies hair. There were some interesting choices in animals on some of the pages. There were kangaroos, monkeys, geese, giraffes, elephants, tigers, and wolves. I was not expecting the animals on each page, but it was a fun twist to a common story.
This book is an extremely easy read and would most likely be boring for older kids. If this book is to be used in the classroom, kindergarten would be the oldest group you could use it with. It would probably be best with pre-k in my opinion. It is a great book to remind kids of all the great things their mothers do for them.
This book was really interesting! I found the animals a little strange and random too. It would be a great book for k-1 though, especially to discuss family relationships
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading this blog. The animals being random on the pages could help to show students that many different creaters have and help their mothers with daily activities. It could also help the students to connect with the animals knowing that all animals have mothers. Thank you for sharing this book with us.
