Can't wait 'til he speaks spanish

Just another cute bilingual children's book that's educational for the child as well as the parent. Great buy!

Beautiful Story and Illustrations

This book tells the story of a little boy who, while curled on his Mother's lap, wants to bring all sorts of other objects up with him... until the baby wants to be included. Of course, there's "always room on Mother's lap" which the little boy finds is not only true but a pleasant experience for him as well.I love the restful illustrations and the ethnic items the young boy wants to have with him on mom's lap. The overall story is one of sweet acceptance and a perfect read for a young older sibling.

We love this book!

This book was a present from a friend to my son who was 2 at the time my daughter was born. The children are now 5 and 3, respectively. It continues as a favorite from amongst the now hundreds of books on their shelves. Not only is this book a wonderful lesson of sharing and love ("There's always room on Mother's lap" has become a mantra in our house), but it is also a lovely book filled with beautiful images of everyday Inuit life. I'm now buying a copy for another friend of mine who is expecting her second child.

A Great Book for families expecting a second child

My mother bought me this book when I was about 18 months old in preparation for my new sister being born. The book explains alot about sharing and that there is always enough room for everyone. I enjoyed this book as a kid and I am purchasing it for my niece who has a one year old younger brother.

Heartwarming!

On Mother's Lap has been a favorite book of my six year old daughter's for years. As one of four children, she often struggles with the fact that I must divide my time-- even my snuggle time with her brothers. I'm ordering several copies today for gifts and to replace our own well-loved copy. On Mother's Lap is a keeper that will go into my daughter's "Treasurer Box" to read to her own children some day.
