Hush! A Thai Lullaby by Minfong Ho is a beautiful P book. It shares a receptive rhyme of a mother telling animals to hush because her child is sleeping nearby. It won a Caldecott in 1997. This would be a great storytelling picture book because of the variety of animals presented and the fun rhythm. #ucflae3414f19
“White duck, white duck, don‘t you cry, my baby‘s sleeping right nearby.”
I‘m not sure if I‘ll be reading this in my classroom. Although it wasn‘t a bad as I thought, I haven‘t decided if the children will enjoy it or not.
“Hush!: A Thai Lullaby” was written by Minfong Ho in 1996. Overall, I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. It describes the noises nature makes in the night and how the mother was trying to keep her baby to sleep. I don‘t know if I would read this book multiple times, but I enjoyed it when it when I first read it.
“Only baby's wide awake.“ This quote is short and humorous in ways because the mom spends all this time trying to keep the baby asleep only for him to be awake in the end.
This book would be good for a cultural background. I might use this book for learning about diversity.
