There are some cute moments (when the parents reassure the baby bears that they're all their favourites and the baby bears think "that was a good answer" and go to sleep), but sometimes this tips over into saccharine ("biggly or littly, it makes no difference"; and I have a relatively high

saccharine threshold); and most of all, I cannot f*ck*ng believe they had the girl bear worry that she wasn't good enough because she was a girl and not because e.g. she didn't have patches (that was her big brother), when it would have functionally changed nothing to have it be one of the boy bears worrying that he wasn't as good because he wasn't a girl. Part of the problem, Sam McBratney! Show Less

This is a wonderful bedtime story! The paper is non-glossy and the pictures are simple and beautiful. The writing is fluid and gentle and sleepy. It's a perfect bedtime story book as the baby bears get tucked in at the end.

This fantasy story takes place in the woods out where bears normally live. This book appeals to young children because they can easily realte to the issue of who is mom or dad's favorite child.
LibraryThing member al04
You're All My Favorites is a fantasy book because the bears are personified. The bears talk, and walk, and play like little children. Bears would not act like this normally but through the imagination of the book they do.

Siblings wonder which of them their parents love best. Of course, Mama and Papa bear love them all.
LibraryThing member DayehSensei
This McBratney story focuses on three bear siblings who wonder who their mama and papa bear favor the most. They are all different, but their difference don't matter to their parents, as they are all their favorites. A great story to read to young children with siblings.

This is a great book that shows the love of parents to their children. The great thing about children is that they are all different in their own special way. This would be a great book to share with any child that may have siblings just so they know that they are just as special as their other

I found this book to be very simple but very powerful. There are three baby bears that are referred to as the most wonderful baby bears in the whole wide world but by being told so they began to wonder what if one was better than the other. These are all questions that siblings have wondered. My

sister is only 16 months older than me and I know we always used to fight over who mom's favorite was. This book is a fantastic gateway to talk about this topic. I mentioned earlier that I loved how simple this book was and that goes for the illustrations. Each bear is just a little different but that changes everything in the world for them. One of the bears mentioned that 'I'm only the littlest, everybody is bigger than me!' and he worried that that may be the reason why he wouldn't be the favorite. I can see this being a very important and special nighttime book to young readers. Show Less

You’re All My Favorites
“You’re All My Favorites” by Sam McBratney is another of my favorites. I have three boys who battle over being the favorite and this book puts a spin on it that no child can argue. The baby bears questions “Who is your favorite? We can’t all be the best.” As

Mommy and Daddy bear explain to each bear why they are the “The Most perfect (first), (second), and (third) baby bear that anyone has ever seen” the reader is engaged. All children with siblings, struggle with sibling rivalry and this book pushes readers to deal with this issue; however, the suspense of the answer is heartwarming. It allows readers to feel loved for their own uniqueness and personal qualities. The illustrations are big and fill the page with scenes of the bears loving their cubs. Even the detail in the parent bear’s eyes shows love. The big idea of this story is to deal with children wanting to be the favorite. Show Less

Once upon a time, a mother bear and a father bear told their three little cubs they were the best bears in the whole wide world. But the baby bears begin to wonder if each of them can really be the best. It doesn’t seem possible that they could all be the favorite? Or could they?

The sweetest thing. The art captivated me immediately and the story is suitable for all children who have siblings and might think their parents can pick a favorite. Gentle and adorable. We can almost hear their voices. So glad it's not another forced rhyming book.
