The promo for “You’re My Little
Sweet Pea” compared it to Sam McBratney’s “Guess How Much I Love You.” That’s a tall order, I thought. But I’ll give it a try.
Zondervan and Kit Chase have created
a sweet, sweet book that had me tearing up on the first read of “pure delight
and perfect size” and “And when your little hand holds mine, I know I’ll love
you for all time.” I read the book three times in a row before I put it down.
It’s written in a soft rhyme with a
natural cadence. The illustrations are gentle. The characters depicted are
mothers and father, baby girls and baby boys—so this makes a great gift for any
new parent or child.
The book is a satisfying length.
Often rhyming books are too short—not even worth being put into a book. But
this book kept going and going–each page more endearing than the next. There is
no mention of God, but I’d rather that than a reference squished in somewhere
out of necessity. This book lacks nothing. It nostalgically encapsulates the precious
moments between parents and babies.
The
publisher has provided me with a complimentary copy of this book through
BookLook Bloggers book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a
positive review.
