B.E.S. series of Look at Me board books for preschool children tell stories about baby animals and their mothers. In each tale the mother animal takes care of her baby and keeps him out of trouble. The simple but true-to-nature stories of animals tending their babies are complemented with vivid, full-color illustrations on every page. The animals are handsomely rendered in a naturalistic style and placed in realistic, detail-filled settings.
Shaped like a panda, this book starts out unique, but it doesn’t fulfill the reader’s expectations. It’s a factual book about a momma panda and her cub. It might be cute to have in the classroom, but there are definitely more educational children’s books about pandas.
At three, Maddie is so into this book and Little Tiger. I don’t know if it’s the mom-baby focus or the fact that it’s the shape of an animal, but she’s a huge fan.
