(Read Aloud) In this book, a baby kangaroo asks his mom if she’ll still love him depending on who or what mood he is in. Each time the mother reassures him that her love is unconditional, and nothing he does is going to change that (even if he’s a crocodile or in a bad mood). I liked the message this book presented, and the ending when the mom told her son that her love will always surround him like the stars surround them. I believe this is a good book for children because of the message, and it teaches them that nothing they do will make them unlovable. This is a good read aloud book because it shows children what a healthy relationship between a mom and a son should look like. It also teaches them that they are lovable when they don’t feel like they are.

Small, a baby fox was having a difficult time believing that his mother loved him. He wanted to know how how much. He asked, “what if I were a grumpy grizzly bear”, a “squishy bug”, or a “crocodile? Large reassured small that she would love him “No Matter What! Children of all ages need assurance that they are loved. Loved this book! ( )

A book aimed at young children but could appeal to any age. A loving story about the enduring nature of love and about setting big worries to rest.

This was a sweet book. It helps the students put themselves in the book and how other adults care about them so much. I like how the author, Debi Gliori used Big and Small as the names rather than mom or baby. They are able to think of other their own parents that care about them. ( )
