Penguin Love - a review of "I Like It When...",
This review is from: I Like It When . . . (Board book)
Now known as Paz and Big Penguin (from the early morning television shorts), these unnamed penguins appear in bright primary colors and discuss what they like about their day.I like it when you hold my hand. ... let me help. ... we eat new things. Three and a Half Stars. Attractive book that small fry are bound to like. The fact that the big and small penguins have no names or obvious gender is nice and allows for a caregiver to say 'look, that's me and that is you'.

I Love It When We Read Together,
By
This review is from: I Like It When . . . (Board book)
My daughter has had her copy of I LIKE IT WHEN..., by Mary Murphy, for nearly two years. Even thought it is geared toward babies and toddlers, my 3 year old still finds this book very enjoyable and very comforting. It is still a good book to fall asleep to.I LIKE IT WHEN...is a series of interactions between a young penguin and an adult caregiver. With no names or defining details, the penguin pair can be mother/child, father/child, grandparent/grandchild, older sibling/new baby. The only requirement for the type of relationship displayed is love. Beginning with " I like it when you hold my hand" and "I like it when you read me stories," continuing on to "I like it when you hug me tight," and "I like it when we dance around," and ending with a big "I love you," I LIKE IT WHEN...models simple intimacies so important to a growing child. The illustrations are simple, cute, and colorful, and the message is reassuring, endearing, simple, and clear. Even though we both have I LIKE IT WHEN...memorized, my daughter still wants me to read it to her page by page, so that we can act out each interaction. Each page demonstrates a very special one-on-one communication between adult and child; something that all kids find fundamentally necessary in their young lives. This book basically just makes my daughter feel happy and loved. And that makes me happy, too.

Adorable book for toddlers!,
By Marcy P "snarkymarcy" (Washington, D.C.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: I Like It When . . . (Board book)
My daughter has loved this book since she was 13 months old. She knows "peekaboo," "dance," "hug" and "kiss." When we read the book she does all of those things after I read the line. "I like it when we play peekaboo." *puts hands over eyes then flings them off saying "peeka!"*We love penguins at our house, which is why someone sent us this book. It's adorable, and we read it every day.
