Two reasons to read Be Boy Buzz:
1) I love the artwork in this one. It's gorgeous.
2) The text promotes a very healthy mindset for young boys, and it made me smile despite me not being the target audience.
One drawback to Be Boy Buzz:
1) It's a nice bit of poetry, but in my experience, children this young prefer story to rhyme.

Be Boy Buzz is a really charming celebration of boyhood, that emphasizes loving being a boy without giving into any of the toxic traits that might make up such a thing. You can laugh and cry and be happy and beautiful and still love being a boy. I would have expected nothing less from bell hooks. The illustrations were cute, and this makes for a charming read aloud.

I never really liked this poem, but I really liked it in this board book. The illustrations are so beautiful and colorful, and I loved the positive message it send to the babies that might read this poem with their parents.
