What Mommies Do Best/ What Daddies Do Best

In my opinion, this is a great book for younger children to read. The illustrations and layout of the book is what enhances the story. The story is half what mommies do best and half what daddies do best. The language of the book follows a descriptive pattern. Each sentence starts out with “mommies can or daddies can”, then it lists off many things they can do in your life. Each illustration goes along with what the text says. For example, it says “Mommies can take you trick-or-treating,” and the picture is the child and mother dressed up in costumes getting candy. On the daddies’ side, it says “Daddies can watch the sun set with you,” and the image is of the father and child watching the sun set through a window. The book show more pushes readers to think about how much their parents do for them and all the different activities they can do together. The child is believable and well-developed because every younger child goes through these phases of life with their parents. The message of this book is that parents don’t do just one thing the best, they can do a variety of things that can impact your life. Both parents are beneficial and people who help you grow into the person you are becoming. show less

I was a huge fan of this book, because it helps describe what mommies and daddies do. There is a happy vibe to the story, and it helps children understand how their parents take care of them. I also really loved this book because it shows kids that mommies and daddies can do the same great things. It's sweet and fun to read. There is also a great amount of repetition, which is good for younger children. The illustrations are filled with bright and warm colors. The lines around the images are dark, to emphasize what is really occurring in each picture The book would be fiction, but has elements of non-fiction. I feel like this book helps children deal with different feelings. This book also has a great component: it is a flip book, that show more presents mirrored texts. show less

This book is a wonderful book to show children how much a mommy and daddy does and how much they love them. Reading it to the class my be hard on some children if they don't have a mom or dad.

This book is a typical mom/dad loves you. It goes through all of the different situations saying how mother/fathers will still love you no matter what. It is a fun book to do with the family.

I read the Daddy side of the book and it is a good book to go on the shelf in the room for free reading time. It tells all the wonderful and fun things daddies do for their children.

This is a double book. I read both parts of it. It's a very simple book that just breaks down all the different and wonderful things that mommies and daddies do that make thier kids feel special. I wouldn't read this out loud to my students but I would have it in my classroom library.

This double book is great for all children. Children need to remember the importance and love they have from the relationships with their parents. It has very small words and short sentences. It would be great for beginning readers such as kindergarten or first grade.
