Horn Book (Thu Apr 01 00:00:00 CDT 2021)

Fans of Patricelli's board-book baby (most recently Doggie Gets Scared and Mad, Mad, MAD, both rev. 9/20) already know and love the adorable youngster, but here Mommy and Daddy (Mami and Papi in the concurrently published Spanish editions) get their own places to shine. In simple, lilting text, our protagonist discusses Mom and Dad's superlative traits and describes special time spent with each of them: "Mommy hugs, Mommy kisses. / Mommy says that I'm delicious! / Now we dance. Wiggle, wiggle. / I can make my mommy giggle." "Daddy likes to sing with me. / I play horsey on his knee...Daddy cooks. / Daddy cleans. / My daddy can do anything!" Patricelli's recognizable color-saturated and textured art, with thick black outlines and rosy-cheeked characters, is always welcome, and now, especially, pandemic-weary parents may appreciate the boost.

Every day is Mother’s Day as the inimitable Baby sings Mommy’s praises in a board book full of humor and heart.

Now we dance. Wiggle, wiggle.
I can make my mommy giggle!

Mommy gives hugs and kisses and says Baby’s belly is delicious. She makes spaghetti that’s yummy and cleans Baby’s face and tummy. Then it’s off to the park to play hide-and-seek . . . where’s Mommy? Simple (and silly) pleasures abound in this Baby’s-eye celebration of a beloved mommy.
