School Library Journal - 09/01/2022 PreS-Gr 2—Mama, Papa, and Aunt P. assure young Cockatoo that they love him all the time—but the energetic and enthusiastic toddler-aged bird is not so sure. For instance, do they love him when he creates a mess, makes lots of noise, and is grouchy and worn out? After a particularly mischievous afternoon of pushing every boundary, involving a vat of fresh mud soup and a drum solo during nap time, Cockatoo escapes the house and reflects on a nearby branch. He is soon found by his family, and they close the circle by posing to him the same questions he asked earlier. Vibrant illustrations capture the energy and enthusiasm of life with a young child, while the text lends itself well to read alouds for one-on-one or large group sharing. Fans of Emma Dodd's "Love You" series as well as Isabel Otter's "Every Day Together" books will enjoy this raucous and ultimately reassuring read. VERDICT Children and their caregivers will find comfort and encouragement in this sweet story of unconditional love; for story time or classroom use.—Olivia Gorecke - Copyright 2022 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
