A bear cub asks his mommy bear why she does certain things like make yummy food. Her answer always relates back that she does these things because she loves her little bear. The brightly colored cartoonish artwork gives the sweet story energy, showing the pair living in a house and wearing clothing. A pleasing, original story with a common theme.

I received a copy of this eBook from netGalley for a honest review.

I'm not thrilled with the last Why? mommy why? in the book. It just doesn't really make sense but I can see a child with their continuing questions asking it again. Otherwise I love this book. The why's and the answers are wonderful, caring and worthwhile.

A very touching, beautifully illustrated book about a baby bear's endless curiosity and their mother's equally endless love. From reading books to preparing yummy food, the mother bear tells (and shows) all the ways she loves her baby. Simple, enjoyable, and adorable.

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for providing me with a free eARC in exchange for an honest review.

A very heart warming read. I get asked "Why?" more times then I could count in a day having two littles. I felt that this was more for me as my kids enjoyed it, but this was not a favorite for them. They are more into adventurous or scientific style books. I related to this in so many ways. All the reasons we do things that we may not even realize we are doing until they point it out. I felt like this was a "Why you do things without even thinking about them as a mother" type book.

The illustrations were adorable and held my kids attention. They were bright and colorful.

Thank you for allowing me to review Tamara Girardi, Olga Skomorokova, NetGalley, and Familius.

This book made me smile because as a parent I remember the 'Why?' questions oh so well!
The illustrations were super cute, and very bright and eyecatching.
The story was very simple, and easy to understand.
Great book - would highly recommend

This is just so precious!! The illustrations are so detailed and colorful and I can imagine it would be such a great interactive book to read with kids. I absolutely adore the tender theme of the story and how much it emphasizes the love between a mother and their child. As I was reading this book, I also couldn't stop thinking about how this is a great way to work on WH- questions and inferencing by having a child think about the reasoning behind actions of love. As I mentioned earlier, there's also a lot of cute pictures on each page which can serve as a way to play "I Spy" with your child. Truly one of the cutest children's books I've ever read and highlights the huge heart mothers have! I think every mother needs this book!

The amount of times I hear Why in a day….
So that was very accurate.
The words ran smooth and weren’t overwhelming for a short board book.

I think the illustrations were a lot. For my 4 year old it was fine. My two year we would’ve spent forever on each page naming everything if I’d let her.

I liked this book for my kids! The illustrations were well done and really cute, vivid and busy enough to have lots to look at but not too busy to make them annoying. Throughout the book the baby bear asks lots of questions just like any kid would, and the mama gives great answers that reassure baby of her love and care for them. I’d recommend this book to a mama with a little one.

Thank you to the publisher, Familius, and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this digital copy of the board book, Why, Mommy? Why?

This book is gorgeously illustrated with each picture adding so much to the story. This book seeks to answer common toddler questions with in-depth and emotional answers. Would make a great gift for a baby shower!

Such a lovely little story! I particularly loved that they were such simple and commonly asked questions from children, but with a really imaginative and thoughtful way of answering. The illustrations are beautiful too!

A colorful whimsical picture book for young children. The books picks up children’s urge to know “Why?”.
By repeating the same pattern of questioning “Why …, Mommy? Why?” and short answers it invites children to read along.

The illustrations are in a nice warm range of colors and show many little details to search for.

It’s a nice modern twist to have Mama bear have a phone. It would have been even nicer to have Mommy do some activity that isn’t associated with mothers/women (have her go on a hike, repair something small).

But overall a cute good night book.

This is precious. The illustrations are gorgeous and detailed. My 2 year old daughter was spell bound and asked me to read it again after we read it. The story is sweet and I loved how it comes full circle in the end tying all the parts together. It was short and the perfect length for when your toddler wants to read it again and again. I can see it being one they would eventually memorize and read parts along with you. I would buy this for my children and as gifts for friends.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for this advanced digital copy.

5/5 stars for this one. This explains in simple terms why moms do the things they do in relation to their children. It is a heartwarming story with cute pictures.

Loved the illustrations and thought the short story was cute! Definitely would be a fun board book. Four stars as I felt it didn’t flow the greatest but overall enjoyable

A wonderfully illustrated book for moms and kids to enjoy together! The clutter of the rooms illustrated made it feel more real and the inclusion of a phone made the story related to families today. Loved the story.

This is a cute and simple book. It would be perfect for toddlers or small children. I love how the book displays that everything a mother does is for her children in some way.

Got to Read this book from Netgalley. First the art is really cute, very vibrant colors and there was plenty of small details added in on the backdrop. As for the context, it was enjoyable to read and easy to follow along.

This is such a cute story that is perfect for young children. They love to ask “why” and this has such sweet explanations for a young child.
The art is fantastic and would keep a child looking for something new each time the book is read.
I will recommend this book to new parents.
