Illustrated by
Mike Yamada.
In this sentimental poem, a mother bear describes her expansive love for her cub, comparing her feelings to characteristics of large, preschooler-prized vehicles. Her love is "longer than the longest train," "stronger than the strongest excavator," "taller than the tallest crane," and so on. The rhythmic quatrains are accompanied by agreeable digital illustrations of the bears riding in big machines.
