Book Reviewed on www.whisperingstories.com

Loblolly, Loblolly, you’re so tall is a book about the Loblolly trees that are native to the south-eastern USA. Living in the UK and having never heard of these trees before I found reviewing this book quite hard as my interest just wasn’t there.

The book features some amazing artwork and is written in a poetic form. I didn’t really see much of a story going on, more a collection of thoughts about what the trees look like. Whether that was them trying to ...more

Nature is beautiful, magical and it’s our connection to it that makes life glorious. In Loblolly, Loblolly, You’re So Tall, Mommy Moo Moo peels back the curtain to reveal the child-like wonder of nature.

From the description of the trees to the wildlife it supports, the story unfolds in easy to read words with bold typeface. Poetic prose, while simple in nature, spoke to my soul. The illustrations, however, are what makes this such a work of art. Each page is illustrated with such detail, it alm ...more

I received a copy of Loblolly, Loblolly, You're So Tall in exchange for a true and honest review. I give this children's novel 5/5 stars. The story is concise and well written. I am not an Arborist, so I had to look up what a Loblolly was, but that didn't take away from my score for the story. The drawings were so well drawn, and the best part of the book. The story was entertaining, and I would recommend the book to school teachers and little children. ...more

In this pure celebration of nature, Loblolly trees take center stage and introduce young listeners to them in a fascinating way.

Every page takes a beautifully done illustration and mixes it with a text nearing poetry. It's not written in rhyme but still takes on an almost musical flare. Loblolly trees cover each page, stretching majestically into the blue sky as various aspects about them are revealed. Sometimes, it's pure beauty. Others, there's a hint a humor and fun. There's even a bit of fan ...more

This enchanting board book covers the loblolly pine which is native to the east coast of North America and is often known as an Indian, pair-coned, pine.

Reading this beautifully illustrated natural world storybook, where fairies dance among the flowers, makes one recognize now is a perfect time to get outside and enjoy a hike through trails where songbirds and small woodland mammals feed on the seeds of these citrus-scented pines.

As a mom and a teacher of young children, I've read a lot of children's books. I was so excited to receive a copy of Loblolly, Loblolly, You're So Tall. This little book enchanted me from the start. The pictures are so beautiful and remind me of beautiful paintings you'd find in a museum or hung on your wall. The lyrical rhymes do make the paintings come alive. Children will love the words and love finding the many animals and little fairies that are spread throughout the pages. I also love the ...more

Today we are going to review a book that is going to no doubt excite the little kiddos in your life. I read this with my son whom for this review we will call “Buddy” again. We read this after a stormy day. Moreover, it was worth it. Stand up tall, play with the birds and get ready for a review of “Loblolly, Loblolly, You’re so Tall” by Mommy Moo Moo.

Opinion

Stand up tall, play with the birds and get ready for a review of “Loblolly, Loblolly, You’re so Tall” by Mommy Moo Moo.

Opinion
I want to take a moment to thank Mommy Moo Moo's team of amazing helpers for mailing me a physical copy of her book, which I appreciate beyond belief. The book came in a lovely box, so if you do order from her site specifically, which is where I got mine from. I assure you that the packaging is impressive. The book is a thick board book, perfect for the little ones in your life who haven’t mastered the art of page flipping a more traditional paper-paged book.

Let’s go into some first impressions and to start, this is one very beautiful looking book. The trees are beautifully drawn, the pages are full of rich color, the beautiful pictures are wonderful to look at.

Let’s go into the critiques I have, and they fall in the “Story Structure, Foundation, and Presentation” category. Specifically, there are a few capitalization issues with some of the stanzas, and the other issue I found had to do with the font being either too dark or too light for the drawing they were on. It’s minor, because hey it’s a kid’s book. But it is something and I am noting it just to note it.

The next critique goes into the “Whole Story” part of my scoring. I noticed this specific issue come up frequently with books of this type. “Loblolly, Loblolly, You’re So Tall” is written for its audience which isn’t a critique exactly, but the issue that there is with the storytelling, to me is something I do need to point out. There is no story here; it’s a collection of beautifully written observations with no cohesive tale. Absent is a beginning middle and end of a short story or narrative. I’m sure this story is non-fiction because I don’t see anything made up really in the tale aside from one picture that more of an explanation on the trees look and feel. Does that ruin the book? No, it’s just how the book is. If you have small children, no doubt you’ve encountered many books of this type which are filled with observations but no story.

Now, I want to go into this next part of the review with what I really enjoyed about “Loblolly, Loblolly, You’re so Tall” and that is specifically the beauty of the pictures with words that are calming. I found this book far more soothing to my son than most. He loves it. Here is his review.

“Oooh. There are so many trees! They are so big! Wow,” then he proceeded to point out all the trees in our back yard and told me that none of them were as big as the ones in the book. He enjoyed it, and we’ve been talking about trees off and on all night and into the next morning. Overall to my five-year-old, this is a calming and pretty book, but I am confident this would be great for a two-year-old or three-year-old as well.

Score

Having all of the math and taking into consideration anything I saw, “Loblolly, Loblolly, You’re so Tall” is an 85/100 which is a four-star review on Goodreads and Amazon. This is a lovely book for the kiddo in your life who loves pretty pictures and learning about nature. It’s very calm, and I hope you find it a treasure, I know I have. ...more

Stunning Children's book

Mommy Moo Moo pens a stunning children's story in Loblolly, Loblolly, You’re So Tall. The story tells a story about the Loblolly pine trees. The story shares the beauty and majesty of these great pine trees, and is perfectly written in a prose that children, and adults alike will enjoy. "You live with lots of other loblollies, the more the merrier." I found the story and the trees themselves very enchanting. I look forward to reading more by this author. ...more

I read this book to my nephew when he was six months old. He loves trees, and this book delivers on this topic with its ode to loblolly pine trees which reside within its beautifully illustrated pages. The text is minimal, and the tone is gentle, providing a relaxing read for very young readers.
