What Shall We Do with the Boo Hoo Baby? - Dual-language edition in French & English
(This delightful picture book with a simple but appealing ...)
This delightful picture book with a simple but appealing story was written by its author Cressida Cowell "for perplexed parents everywhere". This edition presents the book in two languages side by side - French and English... Originally released in English only (in 2000), the book quickly became a hit and was later translated into many languages. Following is the story's short overview from Booklist: "The baby is crying and the animals don't know what to do. The dog says, "Feed him!" so the cow, duck, cat, and dog bring all sorts of inappropriate foodstuffs and comfort Baby with "Moo," "Quack," "Meow," and "Bow-wow." When the baby boo-hoo-hoos again, the cat suggests a bath. When that works only briefly, the animals try playtime. When that doesn't work, they put him to bed. By then the animals are tuckered out, and the baby smiles while they nap. Godon creates her characters with simple outlines, button eyes, and friendly expressions, and the baby cries in classic, round-mouthed fashion, two teeth showing. Pale yellow and blue backgrounds make for a daylight look indoors, and the simple repetition of animal sounds and baby boo-hoos will have story-hour audiences responding in kind". GraceAnne DeCandido
