Mommy, Carry Me Please!

Mommy, Carry Me Please! by Jane Cabrera is one of those Scholastic books (paperback) that we bought through Learning Horizon. It is a simple book about different baby animals asking their mother to carry them in their unique ways - "Mommy Kangaroo, carry me please safe and snug inside your pouch." And in the end, a human baby asked his mother to carry him - "Mommy, Mommy, carry me please... and hug me in your arms." and the illustrations are so adorable. Sophie will always ask me to hug her at the end of the story... more like she would throw herself into my arms! The book has been sitting on Sophie's shelf for a long time collecting dust, but now she easily spots and draws it out for me to read to her. I do not know about other toddlers, but Sophie would only become interested in a particular book if I make reading it an interactive and animated experience for her. So I guess the "hugging" must have worked.
