Carry Me! A Cheery Street Story

This cheerful picture book tells the story of Wilbur, a young boy who, despite growing bigger, still prefers to be carried, given a piggyback, or pushed in his stroller. His patient mommy often obliges, but one day, she's simply too tired to carry him. In a delightful twist, Mommy decides to take a break in Wilbur's empty stroller, prompting Wilbur to consider walking on his own. It's a sunny, funny tribute to doting parents and a gentle nudge towards a child's growing independence, perfect for ages 4-8.

Mothers need a break, too! Young Wilbur rises to the occasion after his weary mommy puts her foot down in this humorous nod to lovable kids who'd rather be carried, please. Wilbur has always loved to be carried. Of course, now that he's bigger and stronger and more active . . . he still likes to be carried. Or given a piggyback ride. Or pushed in his cozy stroller, with a prime view of the world going by. When Mommy asks Wilbur to walk somewhere, his legs say, "Not today, thank you." Wouldn't his empty stroller be lonely? But today Mommy is achy and tired. So tired, in fact, that she might just have to take a break in Wilbur's stroller . . . Kids and their caregivers will both get a giggle out of this twist on a familiar scenario--a sunny, funny tribute to doting moms everywhere.
