From the Publisher

"The celebration of mother-child love makes this a sweet read for Mother’s Day." - Kirkus

Baby-Toddler—The "Canticos" chicks return in this love letter to moms. The three little chicks demonstrate their appreciation and love for their mother with drawings, flowers, and a yummy breakfast. In sometimes saccharine rhyme, the little ones thank her for being attentive at night and caring for their needs. The text is repetitive and lyrical, which will be soothing as a sweet bedtime read. The charming images, saturated in pinks and yellow, are a good match for this lift-the-flap board book. VERDICT A nice addition to Mother's Day shelves, though it might have more success as a gift book than a library book. A Spanish edition is also available.—Lissette Perez-Hernandez

In this lift-the-flap board book, singsong-y rhyming text describes just how much three chicks adore Mommy.

Why do the little ones love Mommy so? This doting mother checks on her chicks when they make a “Pío!” in the night. She’s patient with her babies and cuddles with them. To show just how much they love her, the chicks surprise her with a handmade card, a bouquet of flowers, and a stack of pancakes. The celebration of mother-child love makes this a sweet read for Mother’s Day even though the holiday isn’t specifically mentioned. The three chicks are distinctive: One is bespectacled, another wears a sailor hat, and the third sports a pink bow. The backgrounds of all of the images feature soft colored circles and plenty of hearts. The chicks conspiratorially shush readers as they prepare their surprises for Mommy, and their pride, hope, and love are readily apparent. The best use of the flaps is the one that serves as the hen’s wing as she snuggles up with her little ones. The theme of parent-child love can be seen in many similar board books, but while there isn’t anything novel here, it’s still sweet. (This book was reviewed digitally.)

Familiar territory, though mother-child love never really gets too tired. (Board book. 1-2)
