Bravo, Maurice!

My son absolutely loves this book! I bought it when he was 3 and he was completely captivated by the thorough descriptions. The adjectives in this book paint such a vivid picture in your mind! What a fantastic way to increase your child's vocabulary and develop their imagination. My son is now 4 and frequently picks out this book to be read to him before he goes to bed. We are donating a copy of this book to his preschool as part of their "Birthday Books" program. I'm sure his classmates will all enjoy this during story time. Enjoy!

For any family who's ever experienced the joyful expectation of a newborn baby.... with all the hope and promise for the child's life.... there are 2 titles by Rebecca Bond that are SURE to please! The warm illustrations.... rooms full of books (and no TVs!).... and the tender multi-generational love for new life --- it doesn't get any better than this! JUST LIKE A BABY and BRAVO MAURICE are the perfect "snuggle up and read-to-me" books. A word of advice: Your budding artists will want to duplicate the bright colors, textures and patterns.... Bond's art is contagious, so have the crayons, paper & paints ready!

Bravo Maurice is as charming as Bond's last book, Just Like A Baby. The illustrations are similar and the story equally as sweet and touching. Bravo Maurice seems to be geared towards older children- the 7-8 age range, compared to her last book, which the younger kids liked. My family and I are fans of Rebecca Bond and look forward to her next book!
