I Like It When . . . by Mary Murphy

lighthearted relaxing

5.0

Bilingual board book.  This is a simple, sweet board book about an adult penguin and a younger penguin.  As another reviewer mentioned, the fact that this relationship is not specified makes the book more inclusive-- it could be a parent, an aunt or uncle, a grandparent, etc.  The book has a great color scheme for a board book, nice primary colors contrasted with the black/white/yellow of the penguins.  The text is fully bilingual, with each phrase appearing first in English and then in Spanish.  The text has a repetitive structure: I like it when/ me gusta cuando followed by a specific action that is clearly featured in the illustration.  A warm, cozy book that would be great to read one-on-one or at an infant storytime where parents could act out the illustrations.
