What is 페이퍼백? 표지가 두꺼운 판지나 보드지가 아닌 비교적 얇은 종이를 사용해서 만든 책이며, 실박음질 대신에 풀로 제본처리하는 경우가 많습니다. 일반적으로 하드커버나 보드북에 비해서 가격이 저렴합니다. 소프트커버로 불리우기도 합니다. 책의 이음새 부분이 접히거나 휘는 내구성이 그리 좋지는 않은 책입니다.

페이퍼백입니다.

Book Description
The Mommy Book celebrates all different kinds of moms and highlights the many reasons they are so special. Whether your mom goes fishing or goes shopping, whether she works at home or in a big building, whether she has short hair or big hair, Todd Parr assures readers that no matter what kind of mommy you have, every mother is special in her own unique way.
With his trademark bold, bright colors and silly scenes, Todd Parr explains that while no two mothers are alike, "all mommies want you to be who you are!" Perfect for young children just beginning to read, The Mommy Book is designed to encourage early literacy, enhance emotional development, celebrate multiculturalism, promote character growth, and strengthen family relationships.


From Publishers Weekly
Just in time for Mother's Day and Father's Day, a pair of books by Todd Parr celebrates different kinds of parents. "Some mommies work at home/ Some mommies work in big buildings," states The Mommy Book, accompanied by Parr's signature combination of simple text and neon-bright contrasting colors with bold black line. Similarly, The Daddy Book highlights the differences between dads.


School Library Journal
In these companion titles, Parr celebrates characteristics of mothers and fathers, and points out differences. For instance, "Some daddies teach you how to walk Some daddies teach you how to ride a skateboard"; "Some mommies fly kites Some mommies fly planes." The simple texts are accompanied by joyful, childlike illustrations done in vibrant colors, with faces that are yellow, tan, blue, purple, and other hues; figures and objects are outlined with thick, black lines. Parents of both genders are shown working at home and holding cleaning supplies. A few pages share the same text, for example, "All daddies [or mommies] like to watch you sleep!" The books close with the statement that all mommies [or daddies] "love to kiss and hug you" and "want you to be who you are!" While these titles do not overtly address single-parent households and nontraditional families, Parr allows youngsters to see the similarities that many families share by recognizing differences.


Booklist
In the spirit of the classic Free to Be You and Me song, "Parents are People," these companion titles celebrate the diversity of mommies and daddies. Using his signature neon palette and clean-lined, childlike art, Parr shows how mommies and daddies can drive different vehicles ("Some mommies drive minivans. Some mommies drive motorcycles"); work in different places ("Some daddies work at home. Some daddies work far away"); teach different things ("Some mommies teach you how to paint. Some mommies teach you how to play sports"), and so on. Parr's blazing colors show blue, green, and orange faces that seem multicultural. And children from single-parent homes will like that each book shows only one parent--loving, fun, and holding it all together. Bright, comforting, and written with appealing rhythm, these are good choices for lap-sharing or initiating conversations about families.
