Toddler Book Reviews
... a downright cute book ... While it’s a simple book, it is educational and also gives a feeling of family and warmth.
Kids Fun Channel
...the antics involved in a family finally sitting around the table should be shared.
School Library Journal, July 2013
A pleasing read-aloud that many families will identify with.
Horn Book Guide Online, 2013
The book is full of energy and motion which is all the more amazing when you consider there are no adjectives and only one verb in the entire book. The rhythmic text is sure to get children chanting long after the book is read to them. This joyful book reminds us that while we want many things, what we need is family. Mike Huber, author and early childhood educator
The story is told through playful interaction between characters and between written word and painted picture. Children age 2 and up will love Baby Wants Mama for a favorite story time.
