A sweet and positive book。 A simple way for a child to express how they like to interact。

This book is one the 13 month old consistently grabs off the shelf。 She tends to do this with repetitive books like this one and she babbles along trying to find the words。 This is a great evening story for an infant or toddler。 The words have a soporific effect and they are repetitive without being a chore to read through many times。 The book has the thick toddler pages that are easy for baby to turn herself。 The simple primary colored palate against the black and white of the penguin draws a n This book is one the 13 month old consistently grabs off the shelf。 She tends to do this with repetitive books like this one and she babbles along trying to find the words。 This is a great evening story for an infant or toddler。 The words have a soporific effect and they are repetitive without being a chore to read through many times。 The book has the thick toddler pages that are easy for baby to turn herself。 The simple primary colored palate against the black and white of the penguin draws a nice contrast between character and background。 The whole book is washed predominately in red。 Each page has a little text bubble for kids to get practice on reading the simple single words in the bubble。 This is an appropriate self-read level for children in or around first grade。 The book is structured with the baby penguin saying "I like it when。。。etc" as the illustration depicts the baby penguin and its parent doing whatever is described。 。。。more

Absolutely endearing！ This book has simple， vibrant illustrations （think Maisy books by Lucy Cousins） and depicts all of the things I have done/still do with my little ones。 This book is full of the warm-fuzzies and a touching portrayal of daily life with young children。 On my list of books I will pass on to family and friends。

Mary Murphy knows what she likes， and seems to know by intuition that we like them too: cute board books to read to toddlers that celebrate cute animals， positive values， even love itself。 A penguin mom and her son spend time going thru what they like about life。 Only the boy penguin is seen saying his opinions， but his mom agrees with him all the way。 It's what moms do！ And why is this wrong anyway。 I'm continually touched by books like this。 They reaffirm my belief that our own point of view i Mary Murphy knows what she likes， and seems to know by intuition that we like them too: cute board books to read to toddlers that celebrate cute animals， positive values， even love itself。 A penguin mom and her son spend time going thru what they like about life。 Only the boy penguin is seen saying his opinions， but his mom agrees with him all the way。 It's what moms do！ And why is this wrong anyway。 I'm continually touched by books like this。 They reaffirm my belief that our own point of view is valid， and the fact that LOVE DOES HAPPEN is fact and not opinion。 At least that's MY opinion！ See if you agree。Four starsI love Ms Murphy's What I Like！！！ 。。。more

Bilingual board book。 This is a simple， sweet board book about an adult penguin and a younger penguin。 As another reviewer mentioned， the fact that this relationship is not specified makes the book more inclusive-- it could be a parent， an aunt or uncle， a grandparent， etc。 The book has a great color scheme for a board book， nice primary colors contrasted with the black/white/yellow of the penguins。 The text is fully bilingual， with each phrase appearing first in English and then in Spanish。 The Bilingual board book。 This is a simple， sweet board book about an adult penguin and a younger penguin。 As another reviewer mentioned， the fact that this relationship is not specified makes the book more inclusive-- it could be a parent， an aunt or uncle， a grandparent， etc。 The book has a great color scheme for a board book， nice primary colors contrasted with the black/white/yellow of the penguins。 The text is fully bilingual， with each phrase appearing first in English and then in Spanish。 The text has a repetitive structure: I like it when/ me gusta cuando followed by a specific action that is clearly featured in the illustration。 A warm， cozy book that would be great to read one-on-one or at an infant storytime where parents could act out the illustrations。 。。。more

A little penguin rehashes his day， and shares his most favorite and memorable things that happened as he prepares for bed。

Me gusta como este libro invita a los niños hablar de sus cosas queridos。

For: penguin fans; readers wanting a book that focuses on activities。Possible red flags: could be too long for some readers。

This is a simply worded book that has repetition and is about a nondescript caregiver and a child， and is targeted for ages 0-3。 It teaches the linguistic concept that language has an order and can have personal meaning， while also encouraging the connection between the word that are read with the words that are printed。 The little penguin likes it when the big penguin dances with them， tries new foods， and reads to them。 This book can be read and the actions can be performed or gestured to conn This is a simply worded book that has repetition and is about a nondescript caregiver and a child， and is targeted for ages 0-3。 It teaches the linguistic concept that language has an order and can have personal meaning， while also encouraging the connection between the word that are read with the words that are printed。 The little penguin likes it when the big penguin dances with them， tries new foods， and reads to them。 This book can be read and the actions can be performed or gestured to connect the meaning。 After reading this book multiple times and pointing to the words read， the child can be cued to fill in the missing words or 'read' some pages to the adult。 This encourages early literacy skills。 。。。more

Simple repetition of the various acts of care and love children can expect from their parents。 The adult penguin and child penguin are both genderless， and their relationship is never labeled， which is great for giving it to any sort of family。

This is a nice bedtime book。 I like this it is short with bold and colorful illustrations。 It is a sweet message with actions readers can follow along- "I like it when we dance，" "I like it when we tickle，" etc。 This is a nice bedtime book。 I like this it is short with bold and colorful illustrations。 It is a sweet message with actions readers can follow along- "I like it when we dance，" "I like it when we tickle，" etc。 。。。more

A great beginners book for toddlers about consent and showing appropriate affection。 A must read for all adults and their younger children。

This is an adorable book。 My husband and I would read it together with our daughter with me reading the Spanish and him the English。 We were able to teach our daughter some Spanish through this book。 She loved this book as a younger child。

Good Spanish primer。 Story is simple but easy to understand。 Ozman did not find it interesting。

I like it when 。。。 I find a book this good。I like this book。 My toddler likes this book。 We like it when we read this book together！ （He likes it when other people read it with him too！）It's positive; it's relationship-based; it's unfettered by roles， including gendering。 The language is winning: It is pro-social。 It is repetitive yet unstilted。 My kiddo is neurodiverse and is just beginning to express himself in phrases， and there are two that are coming up a lot: "I see 。。。" and "I like 。。。" T I like it when 。。。 I find a book this good。I like this book。 My toddler likes this book。 We like it when we read this book together！ （He likes it when other people read it with him too！）It's positive; it's relationship-based; it's unfettered by roles， including gendering。 The language is winning: It is pro-social。 It is repetitive yet unstilted。 My kiddo is neurodiverse and is just beginning to express himself in phrases， and there are two that are coming up a lot: "I see 。。。" and "I like 。。。" This book came around at the perfect time for us。 One of the ways he picks up language is in chunks。 He absorbs an entire passage （often， from a book） and then dismantles it to make it work for him in his own life。 I have been on the lookout for books with language that is fun and useful for him， and this is just perfect。 We can play around with these "I like it when。。。" phrases throughout the day。 I’m going to put library holds on the entire Mary Murphy collection。We have SO MUCH FUN with the "I like it when you tickle me" page。 He loves to be tickled， and he also loves to point at and read the words （he points at "tickle" on repeat ;） and look at the characters in the book sitting on the couch doing just what we're doing。 。。。more

Today I read "I Like It When。。。/Me gusta cuando。。。" at bilingual storytime， and it was pretty good！ The kids got a little squirrelly toward the end， though。 I got the kids engaged by asking what kinds of things they like to do with their adults。 All the kids said they like helping！ A couple even said they like to help clean their rooms and that of their baby brother！ This was a very sweet book， and was good for helping kids make connections with their own lives and make sense of their likes and Today I read "I Like It When。。。/Me gusta cuando。。。" at bilingual storytime， and it was pretty good！ The kids got a little squirrelly toward the end， though。 I got the kids engaged by asking what kinds of things they like to do with their adults。 All the kids said they like helping！ A couple even said they like to help clean their rooms and that of their baby brother！ This was a very sweet book， and was good for helping kids make connections with their own lives and make sense of their likes and dislikes。 。。。more

Well below the age range for my group， but would be great for a 0-2 storytime age。
