A Name for Baby by Lizi Boyd –OPTIONAL

A Name for Baby by Lizi Boyd. PICTURE BOOK. Random House (Penguin). 2018. $18.00. 9781524714192

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3)  OPTIONAL

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

A mama mouse is trying to name her new baby. Everyone tries to help with suggestions, none of them are quite right. Eventually things fall into place. Features simple and harmonious illustrations.

This book went a little long for me, so I am not sure it would keep the attention of a young reader. I am sure that every child is curious about how they got their name, so this book does have some appeal. This was a soft and sweet approach, I think I would tend to gravitate towards a book on this topic that is funny instead. The artwork is adorable!
