Terry Pierce liked Hayley's review of Mama Loves You So: "If I had to choose, I'd say my favorite element of MAMA LOVES YOU SO is the beautiful, lilting language. The words mesh gorgeously with the illustrations, resulting in a feeling of comfort, protection, and mother-and-child affection. "

The art in this cute story is great for newborns and babies and the sentiment of the text is wonderful. It might be a bit too wordy for a newborn or baby, but then again, just hearing a parent's voice and feeling their lap is wonderful for bonding.
