BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) - OPTIONAL

APPEALS TO: SOME

Mamas and Papas have many chores to complete around the house.  When children help with the chores, it is much appreciated.  “A happy home is the one where the kids are pitchin’ in, and they do their part to keep things going right.” The sheet music is added to the end of the book so that parents/ teachers can learn the melody and teach the song to little helpers. 

The sentiment is cute and can be used in a unit on chores and household duties.  A unit on teamwork and families could also use this picture book as an added bonus.  The illustrations are sweet and detailed.  I didn’t find the song/ lyrics to be as enticing as other options.  Overall, Mama Loves It is a book that highlights love, connection, and shared experiences.
