God Bless by Boo Boo by Hannah C. Hall and Illustrated by Steve Whitlow is a charming, soothing baby book. The thick cover makes it durable and the cardboard pages make for easy turning for chubby, baby hands. The comforting, lyrical prose on each page assures the child that any hurt can be soothed by a loving mommy, daddy or grandparent. At the same time the words point to a loving Heavenly Father who heals our wounds. The illustrations are endearing with various baby animals and an adult relative who helps in their time of need. These animals include: zebra, walrus, monkey, rabbit, elephant, alligator, flamingo, bear, porcupine and sloth. The baby animals are depicted in scenes of things a human child would do. These include playing on a jungle gym, getting an immunization at the doctor's office, having a splinter pulled out, falling and scraping a knee, etc. The illustrations add warmth to the story. The activities that the baby animals are involved with mirror things a child would experience and relate to and help keep the child engaged in the story to the end of the book. This is a satisfying book!
I received this book from the publishers and was not required to write a positive review.
