More More More Said The Baby: Three Love Stories by Vera B. Williams

"More More More," Said the Baby: Three Love Stories is a 1991 Caldecott Honor Book, chosen because of its colorful and unique gouache style paintings. The book was written by Vera B. Williams and follows three young toddler age children of different ethnicity interacting with their loved one. The book is multicultural as well as mulch-generational and follows the three toddlers as they are swung, tickled, and kissed by their daddy, grandma, and mama. This story has a lot of voice and if you don't read it with the right expression it can seem a little awkward. In my opinion is best told with a little bit of a southern twang or drawl.

I love that this story is about the dedication of the adults to their "Little" nicknamed loves. The illustrations really show the affection the adults have for the babies and is so fun to connect to as I read with my own "Little".
