Mama, Look!

Mama, Look! by Murphy, Patricia. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781499800807.

In this picture book written by Patricia J. Murphy and illustrated by Caldecott Medalist David Diaz, curious baby creatures and their mamas discover the world around them. When a child notices a grasshopper on a plant while outside with his mother, he exclaims, "Mama, Look!" and sets off a series of curious baby creatures noticing other curious baby creatures and pointing them out to their mothers. The human child spots a grasshopper, the grasshopper spots ants, an ant spots butterflies, a butterfly spots frogs, and so on. Told through a combination of the "Mama, Look!" refrain and identifying noun (i.e. "Mama, Look! Grasshopper."), this simple story is perfect for introducing little ones to the world around them.
