Review: WHAT A FUN GIFT TO GIVE A CHILD - Cows in the kitchen is THE best book you’ll ever find for little kids. Today I’m ordering two more. You read it to the tune of “Skip to My Lou” and it seems that within this generation of young parents, most do not know that tune. Last week I sat with a mommy with her 8-month-old on her lap and we read through with me singing the words to the simple, easy tune. By the end of the book, Mommy had learned it. Then throughout the day, if the baby started getting fussy, Mommy pulled out the book, started singing and baby quieted down and grinned. Soon Daddy knew the tune and everyone would sing along. Baby LOVES it – we don’t know if it’s the charming words, the soothing tune or the colorful illustrations. Probably all three AND she loves it. So today the mommy called to tell me she wants to buy the book for her neighbor’s baby, but what if the neighbor doesn’t know the tune? I said, “That’s why it’s so much fun to give. The gift is not only giving the book but also teaching the tune like I did.” She decided this book is now her favorite gift for all the little kids she knows.
