And while I personally have no major (no huge) issues and complaints regarding the fact that the text is presented by Vera B. The accompanying narrative of More More More Said the Baby reads sweetly and humorously, but also often rather tediously, with an unnatural and painfully awkward lyricism (and is actually also kind of hard to read at times, as it seems to blend right into the illustrations, somewhat reducing reading ease, especially if one requires reading glasses or has even minor issues with visual contrast). And while I would not necessarily call them inappropriate, especially the picture of the father repeatedly kissing his little boy on his exposed belly button leaves a rather strange taste in my mouth, as does the depiction of the grandmother "tasting" Little Pumpkin's toes (now don't get me wrong, I actually do not think there is anything wrong with these behaviours themselves, but the visuals, the pictures of said actions, feel a bit uncanny and potentially disturbing, at least for me).
Yes, the illustrations are definitely bright, colourful and full of joyful movement, but frankly, I find some of them weird, creepy and strange in nature. Williams' More More More Said the Baby won a Caldecott Honour Medal, but personally, I just do not like either the text or the accompanying illustrations all that much (I guess can to a certain point appreciate both effort and sentiment, but the end product of More More More Said the Baby feels rather majorly lacking to and for me). And the bright illustrations and multicultural families make it extra special.I know that Vera B. From the Back Cover Here are Little Guy, Little Pumpkin, and Little Bird.
