“Little Mo” by Martin Waddell, illustrated by Jill Barton.1995. Walker Books. Picture Book. Ages 3-5.
If you have a little one who constantly tries to keep up with her big sister ( and other big kids at the playground), this book is a must-buy.
Little Mo is a polar bear cub. She wants to be able to ice-skate. The little thing tries it out and falls over. Some big polar bears come and help her up. They give her a fun time on the ice. However, the “Big Ones” get carried away with their own fun – whizzing and whirling on the ice – and forget about little Mo. In their excitement, they bump into her countless times. Little Mo cries . But the big bears are too engrossed in their own fun to take any notice of her.
“ It was all my idea,” Little Mo reminds herself.
When the Big Ones go home, Little Mo reclaims the ice and her freedom to try, to fail and finally, to succeed.
A wonderfully encouraging book to little fellas who want to make it “out there” !
