Review Tour: Why, Mom, Why? by Parimalasri Docktor with an excerpt, a giveaway, and my review

WHY MOM WHY

by Parimalasri Docktor

GENRE: Children's Picture Book

BLURB:

This book, Why Mom, Why?, is the story of Chili, a Russian (Horsefield) tortoise. Chili is a very patient tortoise that always waits for her friend Tank to be fed first. She realizes that her mom has a routine to feed Tank first. Mom picks up on Chili's sadness when Chili would sit closer to her while feeding Tank. Chili needed the attention and was passively acting out. This book is about the silent communication between the pet and owner. Why Mom, Why? can be closely related to sibling rivalry in human beings. This is Book Two in the "Where is he? Tank, the Tortoise" series.

My Review - 5 of 5 stars -

I enjoyed this book. It was a cute tale about a questioning tortoise about feeding order. I loved how the human (mom) noticed and explained. Chili was understanding and then grateful that mom fed him first when Tank was better. The basis for the story was actual tortoises and situations. This was a story worth reading. The games at the end of the book were fun and a good family activity.
