C loved this book. He was intrigued by the idea, and studied the pictures for several nights.
I thought the pictures were beautiful and the idea interesting, but the text itself did not flow well and was cumbersome to read. 5 stars because of how much C liked it. I would've given it fewer myself because of the text.

This is definitely a read-aloud book. It's got brilliant and beautiful illustrations that are perfectly suited to the words.
The story is about the Wild Child who needs all sorts of things before going to bed for the night, and it really really does its job of evoking Autumn. Like when Mother Earth gives her Wild Child a kiss, it's
A whooshy, whirlishy, windswept snuggle.
And when Mother Earth gives her Wild Child PJs, it's
A fiery, flaming, reddish nightgown.
Anyway, I like it a lot. 4.5 stars just because I am stingy with my stars.

Willow's current favorite book and I've lost track of how many times we've read it! Willow reads it to me every night (sometimes twice). Thank you, Jen & Tyler!

Wild Child caught my eye on display at the library. The cover is a catching, warm illustration of a girl clothed in leaves being raised in the air. All the illustrations throughout the book were luscious and added so much to the story. Rolling hills became the hips of Mother Earth, her hair is a waterfall. The integration of Mother Earth and WIld Child into the natural background was what made me fall in love with this picture book. The spectacular use of color and texture certainly added to it. The story itself was sweet - a child not wanting to go to bed - and the rhyme and rhythm of the words was very pleasant.
