Everything You by Elizabeth McPike - ESSENTIAL

Everything You by Elizabeth McPike, illustrated by Jay Fleck. BOARD BOOK. Farrar Straus Giroux Books (Macmillan), 2019. $8. 9780374311933

BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K - ESSENTIAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

This reads like a love letter from a parent to their kid about how the child fulfills all the wishes and hopes they had and how the child is everything wonderful in the world. 

This is a darling book with perfect cadence and rhyme that would be a great bedtime book. It does refer to both a mom and dad, so becomes restrictive to the audience it appeals to. “You’re everything daddy, your fur the same hue, you’re everything mommy, our valentine you."
