Rosie's babies
|
|
This is a wonderful tale of the relationship between a mother and her young daughter. The story is a dialogue between the mother and child about their babies. Rosie, the little girl, talks about her toys as her babies while her mother sees to a real baby. The larger picture on each page tells the story of Rosie's babies and her imaginary games while a small picture near the text shows the mother, her baby and Rosie. A must for any young child with a new baby in the family.

A wonderful book for anyone with an imaginative child!

Rosie is an imaginative 4 year old whose mum has just had a new baby. To keep her mum's attention she tells her all about her babies and all their amazing adventures. My imaginative 3 year old thinks this book is wonderful. She laughs at the silly things the "babies" get up too, and repeated readings of the book have led to her telling me similarly unlikely stories about her own dolls' adventures. The illustrations are well observed and sensitive, showing the bedtime routine of the baby until Rosie has her mum's full attention (and there is a lovely unobtrusive image of a contented baby breastfeeding which is refreshing to see). The author and illustrator of this book have written others about the impact of a new baby on a family ("When the Teddy bears came" is another favourite in this house) but Rosie's Babies gets my vote for being warm and funny and realistic - plus it passes the test of being read 8 times in a row with flying colours.
