My son and I love this book. The illustrations are charming and the heart-warming rhyme is memorable enough that we have it memorized. When you read a book every night, it's nice if you like what it says and how it says it. This book is fun and easy to read to your child, and it's a great way to finish an evening. This book says everything I feel about my son, and it shows everything we do at bedtime, from brushing teeth, changing diapers and putting on pajamas, and finally being held by mama and being put in the crib. My son likes to point at the pictures, of the boy's toys, the rubber ducky, the boy himself. It was the first book where he pointed and recognized things in the picture.It begins with the boy playing and goes through a whole nighttime routine, and then a lullabye of Twinkle Twinkle, where the boy imagines himself flying through a nighttime sky, and then a tender goodnight.We got this book for him around 6 months and at 16 months we're still reading it to him almost every night, and he now will pick it up and bring it to me to read at other times of the day. It's really been a great way to bond.This is definitely a book for a mother and a son. Fathers are not in the picture. That's OK for me because we're a two-mommy family - so this book is perfect for either my wife and I to read to our son. There is an accompanying book for daughters.
My 11-month old son loves books, but he's never dug through his library to find a specific book for me to read at bedtime before. That's exactly what he does with this one - and he wants to hear it over and over. I know that part of it is because I sing the lullaby to him, but if I skip right to it, he gets indignant. He loves to look at the pictures and he loves the cadence of the story. It's well crafted; there are key words like "peekaboo" and "giggly boy" that my son recognizes and to which he responds. The first time I read it, I choked up a little because it is full of those loving phrases that resonate with every mother. I will say that my husband has read it to our son, too, and it still sounds wonderful. Even though the parent in the illustrations is a mother, I don't think it would be inappropriate for a daddy to get in on the action. This is a wonderful bedtime book, and I will be buying additional books from this author.
This is the cutest, sweetest little book. My 2 year old loves it. He asks for it nightly and even sings the twinkle twinkle version from the book. I love the book because of its diversity, in addition to the sweet bedtime story. The baby boy in the book is ethnic but no particular race or background that I could easily point out. He represents many kids, which I like since it is hard to find books like this and because I believe it is extremely important for the images my child to see in books, pictires, etc. to represent him and who we are as a family and to start early doing so. I wish there were many other books like this. The story is easy to read, catchy, and I have the book memorized! Perfect nightime book at the end of a busy day.
Both my son and daughter have grown up reading (and re-reading) this delightful bedtime story. Strangely enough, my daughter prefers 'Boy of Mine'; while my son is partial to the equally enchanting 'Girl of Mine'. I also HIGHLY recommend these other works by Jabari Asim:'Whose Knees are These' (boy)'Whose Toes are Those' (girl)I initially selected 'Whose Knees are These' because there are so (relatively) few books representing children of color. That being said, these books will entertain and delight children and parents of any background!
We borrowed this book from the local library and every night since it's the book our 1.5 year old picks out to read before bedtime. And by read, we mean read over and over again. So we decided it was worth owning. The books he likes usually goes in phases but this one he still really loves us to read to him. He even picks it up randomly and tries to read on his own! Seems like he really likes the artwork. He notices all these little details that he enjoys pointing out. His favorite page is the peek-a-boo page. His smile and laughter when we get to that page is priceless. Great book, thank you!
This book is so sweet! I first found it at the library and loved it so much I had to buy a copy for myself. It perfectly depicts how I feel about my baby boy & I love reading/singing it to him before bed each night. This would make a great gift!
This book is so sweet! It shows the loving relationship between a mother and her young son as she puts him to bed at night. There is a little hiccup in the rhyme towards the end, but the sentiment is lovely.
Such a wonderful book! I've read this and Girl of Mine to my 11 month old and she never gets tired of them! Tip: sing the songs in the middle instead of reading them. It makes for an even sweeter experience!
