A Mother for Choco (Paperstar) Review
User Submitted A Mother for Choco (Paperstar) ReviewsOctober 20, 2008 A Mother for Coco Board book This is a great book to start my newly adopted great niece's library. The prompt arrival allowed me plenty of time to wrap it for the baby shower. Thank you! September 17, 2008 Such a cute book My 9 month son adores this book. It is a cute, sweet story for any little one and I think he will continue to love it for a long time. His 4 year older brother likes to join in too when I read it. September 7, 2008 Get this book! Please get this book. We are adopting and it has been great to read to our kids and eventually to our son. I've bought several to give to friends. It is great for adopting and non-adopting families. Great! August 3, 2008 Beautiful! I cried reading this book, because it is so beautiful. Recommend it for all kind of families with small children, my son just loved it. March 25, 2008 A mother for Choco; a story for my daughter I absolutely adore this book. My sister gave it to us before we traveled to China to adopt our daughter. She's just over two now and has read this book with me dozens of times. We both love the illustrations, and even at a very young age, she "gets" the idea that Choco finds a mother in Mrs. Bear, regardless of the fact that they look nothing alike. (I confess I still get misty every time I read it.) The message is delightfully done--not schmaltzy, not overdone. I would recommend this to any family--adoptive or not. March 25, 2008 great book! love this book. it gently opens a discussion about what being a mom to a child really means. we dont always "look" like our children and this book addresses that. specifically good for adopted children. March 12, 2008 Love this book I love this book and my adopted daughter loves this book. Granted she is about to turn 2, however, she still will pick this book up for me to read regularly. I have recommended this book as well to the adoption forums I belong too. Great message we are all different and it is about the love. March 3, 2008 My 3 year old loves this book! My three-year-old adopted son from Ethiopia loves this book! Warning, though, the grumpy Mrs. Walrus has kind of freaked him out. I have to read her line with a really happy lilt to my voice. Depending on how sensitive your child is you may want to edit Mrs. Walrus's words/tone the first time you read it to your child. I don't think my son can imagine how/why an "adult" would say to a child, "Now go away. Leave me alone." I bought this book a couple of weeks ago and he has, a few times since then, talked about being sad when he had no mommy and no daddy in Ethiopia. He was just a few months old when he was adopted and was in excellent care while living there so I'm guessing that this book has put that idea into his head. Not a bad thing...just be aware that it might bring out emotions in your child that he or she hasn't discussed before. January 17, 2008 Great adoption book It is a great adoption book that both the parents and the children will enjoy. It is a simple but well done story about a bird that is looking for his parents. My daughter loves it. January 15, 2008 Love this book! I love this book! It chokes me up each time I read it to my daughter. I gave about 5 copies away at Christmas, all to my two-year-old daughter's two-year-old friends, so that they can have an early and sweet introduction to the concept of adoption. A wonderful book.
