Our Young Reviewer Says:
“I liked the story because the mom is saying pretty things to the baby. If I were the baby, I would feel special because she is saying such nice things to me. I liked that the mom collected things (the feather, sage and cedar, blanket and stone) for the baby that looked so beautiful in the book. I liked the colors they used and the shapes. The colors (purples, pinks, blues, greens and yellows) and the shapes (stars) are my favorites.”
