4.0 out of 5 stars Great for Mom's Day, April 30, 2009

This review is from: Momma Loves Her Little Son (Hardcover)

(What's this?)

John Cash released a book that is perfectly in timed for "Mother's Day". The book is about the boundless unconditional love that a mother has for her son. It depicted many ways where mother and child shared their time together or dreamt together (like walking him across on top of the rainbow). It shows how mom is always ready to come by his side whenever he needs her. Mom will always be there to guide his early steps or to give him a hug when he is sad.

Illustration:

Marc Burckhardt's art & illustration is refeshing, with colors that just pops up from the pages, something that can easily get impressed to a child's mind. It is simple but unique, and not crowded with unnecessary things.

The material used for the book is superb. The textured pages are thick and sturdy.

***Tissue Alert!*** "Momma Loves Her Little Son", is a very endearing book that beautifully captures the unending love that a mother has for her son. The words are rhymatic and reads like a song which is perfect for young learners.

Mr. Burckhardt's illustrations enhance the book exceptionally well. They are vivid like a child's dream and are georgous in both color and design. Children will have fun hunting out all the items in each and every picture as you read them the story.

This book is a must for young mothers everywhere and is just in time for Mother's Day!!
