My Mom Always Looks After Me So Much!

An adorable and niche look at a small primate struggling with the doctor. I adored the art style and the story in general.

A sweet and lovely story with wonderful illustrations.
I think it will be loved by children.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC

I found this book "My Mom Always Looks After Me So Much!" by Sean Taylor really sweet and very colourful, any young child will love. Every page was beautifully illustrated throughout, especially if you go go into more detail with them and make up different stories about each animal etc and memories of special moments you have with your child.

This book would be good especially for nurseries and small play groups as well and make a good group discussion/role play with the small children.

This book will be purchased for my special nephew. Just perfect throughout and especially good if your child is worried going to see the doctor etc.

5 Star for the illustrations and the small story. A lovely short read.

Thank you NetGalley and Quarto Publishing for the opportunity to read an advance reader copy.

A cute little story that can be read to a child who has to visit the doctor.
Adorable illustrations and simple text make this book an easy read.

Taylor and Barrow's book is really cute with wonderful illustrations. Little Gorilla needs to go to the doctor. He doesn't really want to go but he understands why. His mother sees to all his needs and going to the doctor is one of them. In the closing scene, Little Gorilla forgets the candy his doctor gave him on the bus, so they go back to ask if he can have another. On one hand, this is a children's book and solidifies the character's view of living in a very friendly and caring world...on the other hand, this can be interpreted as promoting his sense of "entitlement." I prefer to think of the scene as promoting "community" and "friendliness" than anything else which works great for the story as a whole.

The art on this is so beautiful and draws you in, a nice story about a little gorilla with his mum going for his first vaccination. The story shows children how much their parents look out for them and how much they are willing to do for them. It’s a lovely story although I think the parents will appreciate the message more than the children. But it does good in showing kids vaccinations aren’t scary and about appreciation. A lovely read and such beautiful illustrations.

My Mom Always Looks After Me So Much is a delightful book for young children. The story is about a young gorilla and his mom, on a journey to get a shot, hence the mom taking care of him. The main character is scared, but knows mom always takes care of him.
The book tries to take on more themes which leaves the reader a bit confused. Children won't notice it and the main theme of mom taking care of her child is prevalent.
The illustrations are lovely and there are many opportunities for families and teachers to discuss other things in the book. As a speech language pathologist, there are many opportunities to encourage spatial concepts, colors, and overall language development.

Thanks to #NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

A life affirming truth even in the gorilla community.
I remember years ago my sister asked me to go with her to the doctors when my nephew was due his jabs. She was worried her son would blame her for the pain and discomfort and wanted to cloud actual responsibility.
Well here is a delightful book that envisages just such a scenario where mum’s know best, they look after their children so much. I’m glad it is phrased in this way rather than because they love you so much.
A mother’s care includes ensuring you eat your greens; not sure why broccoli get such a bad press and you dress appropriately. In addition they ensure you keep to your medical check ups. Especially vaccinations and this is the story of holding mum’s hand and getting that shot.
It is a simple event that impacts upon the life of all young children so why not learn how baby gorillas cope when there supposed to be brave and not cry.
The illustrations fill the pages and make up for the simple words in the narrative. In each scene there is so much going on a whole new story can be spoken about. Two mice running for the bus and subsequent appearances.
The fundamental message is Mom always looks after me so much. Not a sloppy tale but a practical one that resonates love and care. A snapshot of life, parental nurturing and support. But immediately real and allowing one’s child to add the words to define this special relationship.

I chose to review My Mom Always Looks After Me So Much! because I like the cover illustration and my interest was piqued by the title. It is a sweet story but I was more taken in by the deceptively simple yet detailed illustrations. I know preschoolers would enjoy hearing/reading this book during Valentine's Day and Community Helpers weeks in school or at home before a checkup. Thanks to #NetGalley for the opportunity to preview #MyMomAlwaysLooksAfterMeSoMuch by Sean Taylor.

'My Mom Always Looks After Me So Much!' by Sean Taylor with illustrations by David Barrow is a comforting picture book about the love between a mother and child.

Young Gorilla knows his mother loves him. One day, they take a trip to the doctor, so he can get a vaccination. He would rather think about toys and bananas than doctors and shots. He knows his mother looks after him because she makes him gets shots, and eat vegetables. There are many ways that young gorillas mother shows that she cares.

I loved the illustrations in this book. There are lots of colors and textures. The story is a really good one too, full of comfort and nice feelings. This was a really nice picture book.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing Group - Frances Lincoln Childrens, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This is a childrensbook. I am not sure if it was my copy or the program I use to read pdf's but this has blank pages and was very difficult to navigate. The story was cute and engaging. I give it a 3.5

I found this book very heartwarming and I find it kind adorable. A perfect example of just how committed we are as Mothers when it comes to our children and educational in the sense that it teaches children a sense of appreciation for just how much we dote on our kids and all the many things we do to ensure their happines and wellbeing. It is of my own personal belief that this book has an fundamental lesson hidden in the content that will be easy for children to digest as It is made easy for the children to read and understand. Quite an remarkable children's which has a lot to be praised for. Congratulations to the author on putting together such an wonderful book.

This delightful book stars adorable Little Gorilla and his reaction to a trip to the doctor with his mom to get a shot. She is always looking out for his health and well-being because she loves him so. Mom makes sure he eats his broccoli, that he dons an extra sweater if he sneezes, and now makes sure he attends his doctor's appointment to get immunized.

The simple sentences and rich detailed illustrations marry together to make a funny, heart-warming picture book that young readers will enjoy.

His doctor tells him a joke, gives him a jab and then offers him a juicy strawberry candy for being so brave. Little Gorilla can't be happier. An unfortunate mishap occurs when the two exit their bus making Little Gorilla very upset. He mistakenly leaves his yummy piece of candy on board and is very distressed that it is gone. Can Mom fix the problem? Yes, I'm sure she can. Mom always looks after her little guy so much! She knows exactly how to solve the problem and how to set Little Gorilla's world on happy-mode once again. Hurray for Mom!

The story highlights the special bond between an adoring mom and her precious son. The book flows with loving actions between the two that result in warm, fuzzy feelings for the reader to experience as the book is shared. I highly recommend it.

My Mom Always Looks After Me So Much! is a charming children's storybook about a little gorilla who needs to have his shot or vaccination and his mother accompanied him to the doctor. I guess a lot of young kids dreaded going to the doctor especially when it's their first time to be vaccinated.

I remember when I was around seven or eight years old and the school required all students to have the Hepatitis A vaccine. I didn't mind to be vaccinated but when I saw the other kids crying and complaining that it hurts, I immediately got scared also. I tried not to cry but I know that I'm already on the verge of crying. All students were accompanied by their parents or guardians then and even if my mom was there and told her that I don't want to do it, she just told me that it's just like an ant bite. The doctor reiterated that when it was my turn and thank god that she used a small needle so I didn't feel anything. When it was the second time to be vaccinated again after several months, I think I was brave enough because I told my mother that I no longer need her moral or emotional support because I can do it.

It's funny that I remember that while reading this storybook because I experienced that fear of the little gorilla in the tale. This book will impart to young kids that there's nothing to be scared about and that our parents always look after us because it shows that they love us. This is suitable for kids ages 4 to 8 because that's the age bracket when they question why their parents worry too much about their welfare and the time when they start schooling.

My Mom Always looks After Me so Much! by Susan Talor and David

Barrow is an enchanting children's book published by Quarto about the fear of...shots!
Who haven't had once children the fear of shots?

It's also the case of this little gorilla, who accompanied by his tender mom, and speaking about this problem with whoever he meets along his way, the shot that should be done very soon, a situation in grade to put him in anxiety will be in grade to win this fear.

Let's say that the doctor will also give him a delicious candy, for distract him for a few moments. At the end of the story, the candy will be lost, but, let me remind me to you that it was not anymore necessary because the work was done and metaphorically the compensation for what caused fear, could fly away.

I thank NetGalley and Quarto for this ebook.

This story is really cute and beautifully illustrated. It’s the perfect read to prepare a young child for the doctors; whether that be read by a parent or independently for slightly older children.

My Mom Always Looks After Me So Much! by Sean Taylor is a great book for young children and preschools. It is a nicely illustrated story about a little gorilla who needs to go to the doctor for a vaccination. The book shows how his mom is always there to take care of him so there is no need to be scared. It shows children the concepts of nurturing, love, and support.

This is a cute story about a young gorilla being taken to the doctor. Along the way, his mom makes sure he is okay and takes care of him. I loved the detailed and colourful illustrations that showed a lot of different animals doing different things such as shopping, jogging or playing music during their journey. We also see a lot of parents and their children on the bus. There could be a lot of discussions about what others in the story might be doing to extend the story. I like that this story shows the young gorilla getting vaccinations and that they are not painful. The only thing I did not like was when the youngster loses his lollipop he got from the doctor, his mom takes him back and the doctor gives him another one, there was definitely an opportunity for a teachable moment missed there. This is a cute story showing how much parents do for their children. A book that would be a hit in a nursery school or kindergarten classroom. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book upon request. The rating, ideas and opinions shared are my own.

My Mom Always Looks After Me So Much! by Sean Taylor is a picture book reinforcing how parents, in this case mothers, have their child's best interests at heart as they make decisions.

The illustrations are my favorite part as they demonstrate ways in which the young gorilla easily recalls memories of how his mother loves and cares for him. He is recalling this information as he reveals he is on his way to the doctor's office to get a shot, something he isn't looking forward to but understands he needs.

My one criticism centers around the events after the shot - he is given a piece of candy from the doctor. On the bus ride home he is playing with it, acting like a normal child, and when he forgets it on the bus, his mother decides to retrace their steps to ask for another candy from the doctor (this request is granted). Such a move does, indeed, illustrate to the child his mother's love and care for him, but were this to happen in my home, I would comfort my child and also use it as a moment to teach a lesson: How should we handle candy in the future? Is tickling with it and balancing it the most appropriate way to interact with it until mother says it can be eaten? I imagine most of my friends would act the same - speak about consequences, but then find a suitable treat at home to replace the lost one in order to acknowledge the child's bravery.

(I received a digital ARC from Quarto Publishing Group via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.)

In this land of sentient animals, a simian boy is being taken to the doctor by mommy to get a shot. There are other things he’d rather be doing, and feels like Mom is smothering, making him do things he doesn’t want to. But when she takes him back to the doctor for more candy, he doesn’t mind that at all.
In the waiting room, there’s a rabbit with a pan or hammer on its head. Perhaps that guy’s more in need of a psychiatrist.
Pretty straightforward. The art style paints only what’s necessary, in broad strokes, so that it feels like something’s always missing.
