My Thoughts:
This board book is absolutely adorable. The perfect size for little ones...I always prefer board books for reading to my nieces and nephews because I know that they will stand up to the pushing and pulling of all those little fingers. The illustrations are spot on - Wonderfully detailed and cute as a button with gorgeous soft color.
The message is also spot on. Grampa teaches Little Cub that though love can be expressed in different ways all of God's creatures are deserving of it...even the "annoying" ones like interrupting otters or pesky little brothers and sisters.
