I Miss You, Stinky Face (Board Book)

WOnderful fo those who have children at home and may travel often. Great for parents (not too long to read). . . and wonderful for preschoolers learning to read. . ..

My son and I watched Between the Lions and they read this book today. My son LOVED it, and so did I. My husband often travels for business, me less so, and this is a great book for showing kids we will do anything to get home to them. I'm getting two copies of this book before either of us takes one more trip, and the away parent can read it to my son over the phone before bed!

This book is by far the best "feel good" book I have read to my children since, "Guess How Much I Love You" by Anita Jeram.The fantastic phone dialogue, between this traveling mother and her child, who is at home missing her, shows children that there is NOTHING a mother will not do to be with her children. There is a great geographical variety in this book, from the desert, filled with camels and sand, to a past time and place where magical dragons exsist. In the end the child and mother are reassured that mom will be coming home soon-no matter what. This book is a must for all children, especially those who have traveling mothers.

It is relatively recent that my nearly 5 year old will be still and interested in reading stories and it's been impossible to predict just what will hold his interest. Well, after initially refusing to read this book, now he reads it nightly to me because he has every single word memorized. We share such sweetness and warmth reading this together.

My nieces and nephews love hearing this cute story! They ask for it time and time again! The bold illustrations are wonderful. Two thumbs up!
