Product Description
Here are Little Guy, Little Pumpkin,and Little Bird. Their grownups love them. 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)

Make them ask for more, 2008-10-09
This children's book is a collection of three love stories told in gouache paintings. In it, we see the love of a father, a mother, and a grandmother for the children in their care. It's playful and heartwarming. The repetition can easily be turned into a song for your littlest ones. Pretty soon they'll be chanting for more, more, more.
This Caldecott Honor Book is a good choice for children of color who have care givers of another race. Use the book to start a conversation about their feelings on being 'happy in their own skin.'
Also available in Spanish.
Listen. Learn. Love.

 I love this book., 2008-06-10
I love this book, as does my daughter. When I first picked it up, I thought the language was odd, but it really grew on me. This book actually chokes me up when I read it; it is so warm and sweet and beautiful. My daughter loved it as a baby, and still likes it now and then at age 3. The illustrations are wonderful too.

A Favorite for everyone! Great for families that "don't match", 2008-05-22
This book is not only charming, it is also illustrated with pictures of loving families which may not be biologically related to each other-- and not a word is said about it! As an adoptive famiily, we have lots of adoption-related picture books, but it is nice to just have a fun comforting book which shows that loving families come in all colors and they don't need to "match"!
This has been a favorite gift book for me--I give this book to all kinds of families with babies and toddlers and everyone loves it!

For Everyone, 2008-03-31
A timeless book about love, this book is for every reader. It should be read and reread by all children(that's all of us) and parents(no matter the age of your children). The book is great poetry,too. The illustration is bright and sunny.It will cheer you up and catch you up.

My 2 yr old loves it!, 2008-01-08
Great illustrations, good multicultural representation, and a fun, sing-songy text. My daughter likes to say and do the sign for "more" everytime we come to the word.
