Animals of the Bible
Why animals?

There's no discernible moral to it. There's no obvious reason that they chose to illustrate animals. There's no point they seem to be making. It's just weird.

All babies want love.
The multiculturalism is almost Caldecott-bait. It's like it was specifically written to appeal to givers of children's book awards. It's not a bad message, actually, probably not a message at all.
Lackluster poems for every month.
It's pretty stereotypical. Very American, with the Fourth of July, baseball, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and the obsession with Christmas in December. There's not really much to it, with no storyline or message.
Maybe just stop asking jerks for advice.
Basically, the message is, "Don't trust other people to give you advice, because they just want something for themselves." But if everyone acted that way, society would crumble.
Cute story from toddler's perspective.
It's just fun. There's nothing really to it, and no real point. But it captures the feel, at least as far as an outsider can, of the mind of a young child who is walking but not yet speaking in complete sentences.
Not a bad story to fall asleep to.
The kid being obsessed with something like that is very realistic, especially nighttime rituals, but the girl is demanding something that doesn't exist.
The alphabet is everywhere.
It's interesting, but not enough to look at more than once, as with many alphabet books. There's nothing further to it.
Mostly innocuous but uninteresting.
A highly repetitive book, which is par for the course from Margaret Wise Brown. Every single animal in the frigging world is going to sleep.
Textbook deus ex machina ending.
An inane, contrived story. They suddenly decide to move to a larger apartment. The end.
Chasing chickens, if you know what I mean. And I don't.
Is that a thing? Am I missing something? Is that some kind of meme that I'm out of the loop on? Chicken chasing?
