Little Guy,
Little Pumpkin,
and
Little Bird.
Their grownups
love then.
So will you.
Amazon.com Review
From beneath the tickles, kisses, and unfettered affection showered on them by grownups, the children in Vera B. Williams' Caldecott Honor Book cry out for "more more more!" The stars of three little love stories--toddlers with nicknames like "Little Pumpkin"--run giggling until they are scooped up by adoring adults to be swung around, kissed, and finally tucked into bed. Quirky watercolor drawings and colorful text feature multiethnic families, and young readers will rejoice in seeing the center of all the attention: the wiggly, chubby, irresistible toddlers. (Baby to preschooler)

• Oh Caldecott.....you Keep Letting Me Down
26 February, 2010
I seem to have purchased many, many Caldecott books believing that the award alone warranted adding it to my daughter's book collection only to be sorely disappointed. This book is another example. It is three short and related stories in one. The ways that the adults interact with the children is a little creepy in parts and the story is so long for being so incredibly drab. Moreover, the grammar in incomprehensible as each adult "catches that baby up" and any pattern to the language breaks down within a page or two. The As you can see from other reviews, it can be a bit painful for a parent to read through. My own toddler is not that interested in it but occasionally pulls it out to ask for it resulting in a huge internal "Yuck" from me. I am grateful I bought it used for $0.99.

This is a really fun book for little ones. They like the repetition, and the multicultural families is a bonus. I like giving it as a first book.

• Disappointed With Bad Grammar!
13 January, 2010
The book is nice and colourful but I was really quite disappointed with the grammar! Phrases such as "daddy had to run like anything" "to catch the baby up" I think are really badly constructed. It appears 3x in the book! I won't be reading this to my baby/toddler, I don't want him to pick up any bad language habits.

• "no More, No More, No More!" Said The Mommy.
06 November, 2009
I am shocked that this book is a Caldecott Honor Book! It is THE most awful children's book I ever read and I am a teacher and have read plenty! The illustrations are terrible too.
The book is three stories in one: the first is about Little Guy. Little guy is so fast that "...his daddy has run like anything just to catch that baby up." What example of proper english is that? But then Little Guy's daddy "...catches that baby up all right....[and] brings that baby right up close." Little Guy is delighted with his daddy's antics and wants more, more, more.
Next we meet Little Pumpkin, an african-american baby with a caucasian grandma. I seriously think this is why the book is a Caldecott Honoree. However, this interracial family dynamic is not shocking or surprising and therefore not a unique depiction worthy of such an honor. Little Pumpkin scoots so fast that his grandma has to chase him just like Little Guy's daddy did. More poor grammar and then grandma "...catches that baby up." Again, baby wants more, more, more.
Last, we meet Little Bird, an asian baby. Little Bird falls asleep so fast that the mother has to "...catch that baby up" as he is falling off the couch onto the floor! This one is simply ridiculous! Then the author completely breaks the pattern from the first two stories and instead of saying "More, more, more" the baby says "Mmm. Mmmm. Mmmm" while falling asleep.
Overall, I am baffled as to why this is an honoree and why so many people gave it a positive review. It is simply awful! I am glad it was only $7.99 because I threw our copy out after our daughter slobbered all over it. At least it made a good teether.
