This was short and sweet, a good primer for beginning conversations with young kiddos about how things may change when a loved one is pregnant and needing more support. I found it odd that the parents hadn't explained that Yzada's mother was pregnant but even that is a good prompt to discuss differences in cultures and family dynamics that may vary from your own. The illustrations were great and I loved Yzada's curiousity and inventiveness.
A delightful and educational storybook that young readers will adore. The book revolves around Yzada, a curious six-year-old girl who is always seeking answers to her questions. As she explores the world, she engages her parents and schoolteacher in captivating conversations that reveal exciting insights about life and the world around her.
This heartwarming book is perfect for young children who are eager to learn and explore. Yzada's inquisitive nature and thirst for knowledge will resonate with young readers, inspiring them to ask questions and seek answers.
A charming and fun-filled adventure – the perfect bedtime story for little learners! This educational gem takes kids on a journey with Yzada, a curious six-year-old who has a knack for asking the most intriguing questions. As she seeks answers from her parents and schoolteacher, young readers will delight in discovering new things about the world. Yzada's curious mind leads to an adorable misunderstanding about pregnancy. She believes her dad is her "maid" and hatches a hilarious plan to make him wait on her. Along the way, she learns about the human body and the wonder of new experiences.
Personally, I would not recommend this book. It starts off with the mom telling the dad to do things for her, and he does. And then when Yzada tells her dad to do something, he says no. So Yzada asks if it's because her mom has a big tummy, and her dad tells yes, that is why he says yes to her. So Yzada tries to eat a lot of food for her tummy to get bigger, and doesn't understand why it doesn't work and she doesn't have a maid. The next day, her teacher explains to her that her mom is pregnant, and that's why her dad is doing things for her and not Yzada.
My issue is, the mom should still be asking instead of telling. I understand that's not always the case, but in a children's book, we're meant to be teaching good morals and manners. I also didn't like that the dad didn't explain the pregnancy to her. I don't feel like that was her teacher's job. Just overall, it seemed like the wrong way to go about a book teaching about pregnancy
