So Much by Trish Cooke

2.0

My almost-3 y.o. loved this book. Every night for the two weeks we had it from the library. I loved only most of it. The book is about relatives coming one by one to visit the baby and each enters the house with a lyrical "I want to ___ the baby" (insert: kiss, squeeze, eat. I would have given the book 4 starts except for the part "I want to fight the baby" - I know it's just pretend fighting, but I read this to daughter at the time in her life I am trying to teach her not to push her baby sister and the words go something like, "Cousin push the baby / the baby give him slap" and more hands-on fight actions. I think it was really confusing to her. Each time, I paused and said, it's only pretend pushing and slapping. But still.

I did like the rest of it a lot and enjoyed the illustrations.
