It's always hard for Baby Bird and his mama to say good-bye on their way to school and work in the morning. But Mama finds a lilting, lyrical way of showing how her love is with her child all the time--and his love is with her, too.
But even when I'm far away,
this love I have will stay.
and wrap itself around you
every minute of the day.
Warm, reassuring feelings emanate from this lovely picture book. Mama Bird tells her child how her love slips inside his lunch box, sits upon his shoulder when he sings a happy song, and snuggles on his pillow while he naps. Jane Dyer, illustrator of the bestselling Time for Bed, creates positively touchable watercolors of a pudgy-cheeked preschooler bird and his working mom. Hints of hearts nestle playfully on the pages: on the blackboard under the letter H, and sewn onto his pillowcase. Oh My Baby, Little One will resonate deeply for moms and kids alike, and may make daily separations just a little bit easier.
So blow a kiss and wave good-bye--
my baby, don't you cry.
This love is always with you,
like the sun is with the sky.
(Ages 3 to 6) --Emilie Coulter
Book Description
When Baby Bird says good-bye to his mama at school each morning, he feels sad. Mama Bird feels sad, too. Sometimes it's hard to be apart. But as Mama Bird says, the love they share is with them always, keeping them close until the best part of the day--when they are together again. •From the illustrator of the bestselling Time for Bed, with more than 725,000 copies sold •A heartwarming story about the universal experience of parents and children being temporarily separated

You miss me, and I miss you, and I must leave you for awhile........2007-08-10
Mama bird explains to baby bird, who misses her, how her love is with him throughout the day while she is at work. She tells him that she also misses him and finds his love with her. She also tells him that her greatest joy is when she comes home to him.
This is a good book for a working mother to read to her child (starting as young as possible) to reassure him/her and open up a conversation about the topic whenever needed. The pictures look just like my grandson when I babysit and he misses mommy.
Gift Of The Tortoise: A Musical Journey Through Southern Africa by Ladysmith Black Mambazo includes a song that the children sing when their mothers return from trading in the city (which may take days). It also has a song by a girl when she receives a gift from her father who works at a distance from the family and only sees them a few weeks a year.
Beautiful message!.......2007-07-12
I bought this book for myself when my first child was still a baby. It helped me with the drop off at preschool when she was a baby to know that our love was with each other when we were apart! I bought them this year when my sister-in-laws had their first baby girls and were headed back to work and they found them just as moving and sweet. What a great gift for any mom at any stage!
Childrens Books.......2007-05-13
This is one of the most beautiful and tender stories I've ever read about a working momy and the seperation she and her baby son must go through every day when she goes off to work and he goes to school. It helped me and my son a lot knowing that other families go through a similar process of separation anxiety. It also has beautiful pictures and eases the insecurities most little children go through when the aren't with their parents, I really recommend it.
Wonderful Illustrations.......2006-02-28
Large, soft, colorful illustrations attracted me to this book that I found at a book fair several years ago. I purchased this book for my "when I have children" book collection, and now that I have a son to read it to, it is a favorite for both of us. The story is a sweet rhyme and not too "wordy" for my toddler who does not sit still for very long. The illustrations are so pleasing to me, that I just completed a search for other books illustrated by Jane Dyer, and am excited by my new finds.
Finally I have made it through without tears..........2005-03-18
Stumbled across this in the library, (always scope out the books there first, in order to make sure "we" like them), the first oh, ten times, I read the book to my daughter I couldn't get through it without almost bawling. (And I only leave her twice a week, with her Grandma or Aunt). I don't think she understood (at 10 months) what was a matter with Mom. Now that I own it and have read it about 30 times, I can get through without tears and she really enjoys the story. It is told in a lovely rhyme, with beautiful illustrations.
If you are a working mom, or sending your child off to school, I highly recommend this book.

Book Description
In this uproariously funny counting book, illustrated by popular artist Kevin Hawkes, a ravenous little sister eats everything from one hare to ten peas. Now in Dragonfly, this is the perfect book for any kid who loves to giggle (and who doesn't?) and parents who love to hear them.
Customer Reviews:
Great Book!.......2006-03-23
This book is a hilarious rhyming story. Sure to be a hit with about any kid!
WE LOVE THIS BOOK!.......2006-01-09
OUR DAUGHTER LIKES TO PRETEND TO EAT THE CREATURES TOO (SHE SAYS THE ANTS & THEIR UNDERPANTS TASTE THE BEST). OK, THE STORY IDEA OF THESE CREATURES BEING EATEN IS A LITTLE STRANGE, BUT YOU JUST NEED THE RIGHT SENSE OF HUMOR. THE PICTURES ARE REALLY GOOD & IT'S A VERY FUN BOOK. OUR DAUGHTER WILL REQUEST IT BE READ 3+ TIMES IN ONE SITTING. I'M PICKY ABOUT OUR BOOKS & THIS IS ONE I'D HIGHTLY RECOMMEND & DEFINATELY GIVE AS A GIFT.
Reading and Math Correlation.......2005-09-14
This book is excellent for rhymes and counting, also for graphing. The children love this book and don't mind hearing it over and over.
School Book Review.......2005-03-04
Do you want to eat five frogs? I read a book about a little girl that did. It is called My Little Sister Ate One Hare, Its author is Bill Grossman. This book is mostly about a little girl that eats everything like junk. She ate one hare. I like the book because it is funny. My favorite part is when she eats 10 peas. In the book the author is trying to tell us she won't eat healthy food. Read this book to see if she ever stops eating junk.
School Book Review.......2005-03-04
Have you ever seen my younger sister eat 8 frogs? Well in the book My Little Sister Ate One Hare she did. The author is Bill Grossman. This guy's little sister ate tons of nasty things. This book is funny in some sorts of ways but mostly nasty that is what's cool about this book. The author tells you to never eat nasty things always eat good things. Read this book to find out if she eats ten peas.

Good Night Bible.......2007-01-15
My son loves this Bible and it's easy for him to understand! The stories are short enough that it holds his attention span. I would recommend this Bible to anyone that are around the ages of 2 or 3 years old.
koolaidmom4christ.......2006-09-06
This is the BEST bible for families wanting more than story time... You will make memories with your kids as you sing the opening song to set the tone, read the bible story, look for Night-Light and talk about the story with the questions given. If you are new at this, don't worry, there are even sample prayers you can pray with your children every night. After story time and prayers, singing the closing song just completes this special time.
My Good Night Bible.......2003-09-24
We love this Bible. This is the best Bible we have found for our 3year old daughter. We are very pleased that there is a story on the baptism of the Holy Spirit which is usually overlooked in Bibles for children this small. We definately suggest it!!
She loves it too! She has worn the cover off!
Great book for the younger kids.......2003-01-29
I got this book for my almost 5-year-old son about a month ago
and he's been asking me to read it to him every night.
He likes to look at the colorful pictures and ask questions
about the characters. The story is a little overly simplified
for the pre-K kids, so I usually go into a little more details
to satisfy his curiosity. However, I like the style of the
writing. Its use of rhythms and repetitive phrases makes the
message easy for the kids to memorize. I'd like to get another
bible with more story telling for him.
Wonderful..........2002-05-19
This book has been a great blessing to us. We use it as a birthday gift etc whenever possible. It has always engaged the interest of our son, even though we have gone through the whole book at least three times. In fact he likes it so much that he remembers much of the content...what more could you want...!!
Customer Reviews:
Great Book for Kids.......2007-04-01
I read this book with my kids and they were fascinated. They memorized many of the scriptures because some of them were also in other stories within the same book. They noticed that and were able to memorize them. I highly recommend this book because, in the world we live, kids need to know there is a God in heaven who loves them, cares for them, and wants the very best heaven can offer. Adults could also learn from the stories found in the book.
My Girls LOVE It!.......2002-04-08
I have two daughters (4 and 1 years old) plus a 10-year old step-daughter. All three of my girls absolutely adore this book! Each devotion consists of a story about the kids on Apple Tree Lane, a "Thinking Time" for questions about the story, a "Praying Time" for talking to God about the lesson the story teaches, and a "Sleeping Time" that is a fun activity to go along with the story. My one-year-old loves finding Night Light, the cute little critter that leads you through the devotions. We love the book so much that I've purchased a second one for my step-daughter to keep at her house.
Customer Reviews:
full of information.......2000-04-26
this book is full of information about Waneta Hoyt but it also is about another parent who killed his babies. Stephen Van Der Sluys also murdered his babies because they were in his way & he did not want to take care of them. Charles Hickey does know how to tell a story.
A can't-put it-down book.......1998-12-31
A very well written book. This is a story that needed to be brought to book to let people take a look at what happened in the family life a Waneta Hoyt and the deaths of babies; Eric, James, Julie, Molly, and Noah. Thanks should go to William Fitzpatrick, DA and to all the investigators for bring these murders to light. Also thanks to the author and contributors. This story will make you mad for what Waneta did, sad for the innocent babies and relieved for some justice. A must read!
Fine investigation of infanticide masquerading as SIDS.......1997-03-28
*Goodbye, My Little Ones* concerns a case of serial infanticide in New York state. A prosecutor was working on a case in which a father was tried and convicted for murdering one of his three children. (He was in fact suspected of having killed all three.) An expert witness brought the prosecutor's attention to an earlier case, in the late 1960s, in which several children in another family had supposedly died of SIDS (crib death); the witness believed those were homicides also. Eventually the prosecutor reopened that case, and the mother, Waneta Hoyt, was convicted in 1995. I particularly like true crime books with a medical angle. This one includes interesting information on the history of SIDS research. Two of Hoyt's children (identified only by their initials) had been included in a major paper on SIDS in 1972, but almost from the very beginning some physicians suspected that those cases were homicides. The authors' style is a bit more reportorial and brisk than the work of some other writers in this genre; Ann Rule, for instance, takes more time to develop the atmosphere of a setting. This book moves the reader right along without, however, slighting any points of detail or character

Customer Reviews:
where's the beef? I mean PLOT.......2005-09-27
I was very confused by this book, it says it's written by Scout Driggs, but there wasn't even a story! Scout Driggs is a master of the writed word, Scout Driggs is a bard among non-bard peoples or animals, an effervescent fizzing soda in a world where there is no soda because it has all gone flat and is now just sugar water. It's the gaseous bubbles that make soda good, so i ask you where is the gas in this Pony Dress-Up Day book? And plus, none of the pictures were colored and I had to color them in myself with my little sister with crayons and markers (but if you use markers don't push hard or else it seeps through to the other side and ruins the next page which is so annoying!) But a book with no story where you have to color the pictures yourself? I was reading about things like this in Thomas L. Friedman's "The World is Flat." Friedman says that in this day and age if you fly on a plane you become your own ticket agent by printing out your ticket and checking in for your flight on-line before you even go to the airport. Effectively you become an employee of the company you're buying from! So when my sister and i had fun coloring in all those pages, we became employees of the publisher, and I think that is weird!
One Star! With a VENGEANCE!

My favorite bedtime story.......2006-02-26
I am a mother of three and this was by far my favorite story to read to the children. It sends a sweet, simple message to the children. I enjoyed reading this over Goodnight Moon and the other "Favorites" that you see in all the bookstores. The children have enjoyed it and have it now memorized. The pictures are dreamy. The book is perfect for bedtime. I search out this book when I need to give a baby gift.
The BEST bedtime book I've read in ages..........2000-04-04
The words flow smoothly and gently in this wonderful picture book for young children. The message is one every parent tries to convey - of undying and unconditional love. The illustrations are absolutely beautiful, and perfect for a bedtime book. This is definately my favorite book to read to my 3 children!
