Illustrated by
John Segal.
"I am yours / You are mine. / Mama loves you, / Porcupine," begins this series of rhymed quatrains expressing the love of animal mothers for their little ones. While some verses are better constructed than others, mothers and babies will appreciate the genuine warmth throughout. Segal's art features large-scale animals rendered against plain backdrops, suitable for the young audience.
