MY TIDBITS


This is one of those books, which will make young listeners smile and feel warm and fuzzy inside.

Various animal pairs, always a large one (parent/guardian) and a baby, are presented on each page with the words "You're my little...". Then there's a cute rhyming phrase, which shows how/why they are loved. While it's super sweet to see the loving relationship between these animals, the message to the listener is clear, too—you are loved. 

Animal lovers will enjoy running through the various creatures, and two of them include a flap to open and reveal a surprise underneath. Each illustration is bright and cheerful. The medium used changes a little, allowing textures to flow in with the colors. According to the description, there are also elements to 'feel', but since I received an e-format, I didn't get a chance to discover this aspect.

This is a lovely book for parents, grandparents, or any guardian to cuddle up on a cushion with their little one to read. It displays love and warmth, and is sure to bring a hug at the end.
