No Matter What by Debi Gliori. 2008. 24 pgs. Boston, MA: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. 9780152063436. Format
reviewed: Board book.
Annotation: A young
fox feels unloved, so his parent assures him that no matter how grumpy,
squishy, scary he gets, its love for the small fox won’t break or fade away.
Reaction: Children
all feel unloved or unappreciated at some point, and No Matter What allows
children to ask their parents if they would still love them under the most
awful and weird circumstances. We know the parent’s response, but a child will
still be happily surprised by the consistency our responses. The illustrations
of the foxes, combined with the rhyming narrative, demonstrated honest
affection and love. A great read for parents and children at bedtime.
Primary
early literacy skills: Print motivation. An easy read, with engaging
illustrations, about a subject children enjoy- their parents love for them, no
matter what.
Recommended
ages: 3 and up.
