(3) PS Illustrated by Betsy Lewin. "Rosy sun's risin' / In her pink gown. / Ma lifts the baby-- / A hug goes around." This book follows a large, loving, and mishap-prone rural family throughout their day. The titular refrain is oddly dropped partway through and picked up again at the end, but the rhyming text reads well aloud and folksy verses give the story a firm sense of place. The soft illustrations mirror the controlled chaos of the family's routine.
