SAY IT!

I liked reading this book. This book was very sweet and I think it would be perfect for mothers and their little ones to read together. I think this book is definitely best fit for preschool aged children, however this book would be a nice read for slightly older kids too because it talks about the bond a children and their mother has, which is relatable to a lot of kids. One reason I liked reading SAY IT was because of how realistic it is and how relatable it is. The mother and daughter and daughter go on a simple walk outside during autumn and they play a game many kids play with their parents where the child wants mom or dad to say one thing, and they say something completely unrelated because they know it will make their child laugh. Another reason why I liked this book was because of the descriptive language Voake used to describe the beautiful autumn scenery the mother and daughter were walking through. Finally I liked the illustrations in this book they were full colorful and paired good with the words on the page. The message I got out of this book is that the bond between a mother and her child is very strong, and mothers have many ways of saying "I love you" to their kids. ( )
