"Elmo's World: Moon" by Jodie Shepherd Book Review

 

"Elmo's World: Moon" by  Jodie Shepherd is another of the Sesame Street Elmo group. It is a simple look at the moon from the eyes of a child. This is a very short book and it leaves much to be desired.

First off, the thing is just too short and second it gives very little understanding of what the moon is. It does tell you what the moon is not, but as even a vary young child I would have been disappointed with this information. 

All and all, this is a book for Elmo fans or children who have little ability to talk. Preschool age children will find the images amusing, but this is a book that just has too little substance to pay for. 

Who should read this book: Elmo Fans

"Olivia and the Babies" by Jodie Shepherd Book Review

I'm reasonably sure that "Olivia and the Babies" by Jodie Shepherd

is part of a much larger group of books, but this is the first I've seen. This is what i get for going to the library and just dumping books in a bag. 

In any case, this is the story of a pig who wants to be a mommy so she gets pets and acts like they are her babies. I know this is a fun story showing children at play here, but it does downplay motherhood and the responsibilities there of. Also this book may get your child to want to get a pet or two. 

Who should read this book: People who want their kids to baby their pets.
