Why Mom, Why? by Parimalasri Docktor

Rating: 3 of 5 

📖Book Info

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.

💭Our Thoughts

Why is Mom feeding Tank before me?
Did I do something?

Journey with Chili the tortoise as she is feeling a bit left out when her mom makes her friend Tank's needs a priority over hers.
Did she do something wrong?
Or is there something more going on?

This was a cute read written in a way that is easy for young children to process. The author easily conveyed Chili's concerns as well as her Mom's response to her feelings and the explanation as to why Tank was getting priority treatment

My granddaughter enjoyed the illustrations as well as the turtle facts and games at the end
