Mommy kisses, and Mommy hugs. But what else does she do? This charming book, featuring heartwarming illustrations of baby animals spending time with their mommies, will make mothers want to cuddle up and read with their young ones.
Animal mommies affirm their affection in cheerful, warm illustrations reminiscent of early animation. A polar bear mommy keeps her baby "feeling snug" under a night sky with pastel stars; a duck mother keeps track of her six yellow ducklings ("Mommy listens, Mommy hears"); and a blue whale mommy "chases off" her baby's fears (a toylike submarine). Finally, a mommy elephant "shares her love" with her baby, their trunks entwined, as two red hearts float overhead. The basic text is low-key, but the artwork is endearing. Ages 3-5. (Apr.)
