A humorous exploration of how a caregiver’s love can lead to overprotection, this picture book shows that children must also be allowed to be children. More for adults than children, this would make a nice choice for Spanish-language collections.
Purchase several copies of this book, and pair with Claudia Rueda’s Let’s Play in the Forest While the Wolf is Not Around or with Ed Emberley’s Go Away, Big Green Monster! for a lively story time about laughing away your fears.
Sure to attract readers interested in nonfiction and graphic novel-style books, this title provides a good introduction that will pique kids’ interest and have them searching for more on the often ignored worm.
