My Thoughts
Little kids and farm animals just go together. What child doesn't love to make their noises? In Baa! Oink! Moo! God Made the Animals Rhonda Gowler Greene captures the curiosity and unending questions of little ones. If you're a momma of a little you know all about the cycle of question after question.
With the sing-songy verses the momma gently responds to all of her little boy's queries. As they move from animal to animal the son continually says "Mama, look!" and then responds with a question about who made the animals and their particular characteristic. I really like how the momma responds that only God can make these animals and give them their particular makeup.
I am pretty sure that once you read this aloud to your little one they will begin to respond in all the right places with the animal sounds. The book itself is a padded board book that is very sturdy for the multiple readings that you are surely going to be doing. When the words have a rhyming flare it is actually fun to read it again and again. I think you'll also enjoy the illustrations by David Walker. His use of disproportionate features makes for a whimsical visual that goes really well with the verses.
This book would be a great addition to any child's library. It would also make a wonderful baby shower gift for that expecting momma.
