This is a lovely board book, which has only one purpose—to tell a child how important they are and how wonderful it is to have them around. It's told from a mother's point of view and goes through different examples of how the child makes this mother's life better. The situations will be mostly familiar to young listeners. I find it especially nice that this book shows how a child's presence...no matter what they do...is simply a joy for the parent. It's up-lifting and makes it clear that the child is loved for just being there and living.
The illustrations are bright and full of little details. The pair used is a mother rabbit and her child rabbit. Both are cheerful and created with warmth and love. There's quite a few things for young listeners to gaze at in these pictures. Some things are even a little funny (in a cute way), which is sure to make them smile.

The text is a little large for the youngest, but then, this isn't a book to help kids learn to read. Rather, it's a read aloud, and one especially great for moms and their children. It's guaranteed to end with a big hug and have both with all sorts of warm fuzzy feelings.… (meer)
