PS
This pair of picture books features animal parents and their young engaging in humanlike parent-and-child activities. General statements--"there are some dads who worry"; "some moms are tough"--are expanded by scenes illustrating each type of parent. The pictures seem conjured to fit the rhyme rather than a connecting theme, but an up-tempo rhythm makes for a quick and pleasant-enough read-aloud. Review covers these titles: Some Dads and Some Moms.

"In the Jingle Jangle Jungle on a cold and rainy day, four little friends find a perfect place to play." Moose, Lion, Zebra, and Sheep try to placate a cranky bear when they seek shelter inside his cave. The jaunty rhymed text makes for an engaging read-aloud, while the animals' efforts demonstrate kindness and generosity; expressive color illustrations add humor.
