Title: great for discussing patience
Review: I was surprised to read that some people didn't like this book. I feel that not only are parents sometimes busy but honestly kids need to learn that they can't get whatever they want whenever they want it, even if what they want is as simple as a hug. Sure we shouldn't pass up on those opportunities to cuddle our children but letting them wait a little bit until we finish whatever we are working on is not only acceptable but sometimes even good for the kids. Instant gratification is not the best way to raise kids. That said, this is a beautiful book that shows a mothers love for her child even if she can't cuddle him immediately. Plus it is perfect for launching in to a discussion about why Claude was silly to think that his mother didn't love him and also talking about techniques for keeping busy until mommy or daddy are available to play or cuddle or whatever. Patience is a virtue, let's teach our kids patience!!!
