Book Reviews of On Mother's Lap Book & Cassette (Read Along Book & Cassette)
Book Review: Sweet, quiet story
Summary: 4 Stars
First, let me note for those interested in the subject that this book shows babywearing on the cover.
But that's really just a lagniappe in a good book.
Michael is, as you can guess, sitting on his mother's lap, and he keeps getting down and fetching more and more of his special things to be with him. Eventually all this wakes his sister, and his mother goes to sit her on her lap as well, and he makes room and they snuggle together.
The author doesn't patronize kids by carefully spelling out "Michael is jealous of his sister" or anything of that nature. It's too easy to do that. Instead, Michael's feelings are clearly shown by his words ("There isn't room") and the illustrations (him hiding under his blanket is priceless).
I wouldn't suggest giving this to a mother of five who has already started yelling "I WANT MY LAP BACK", after all, the moral is that there's *always* room on mother's lap. But most everybody else is going to love it.
