Big Mama's Baby

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Nancy Cote. Big Mama, a kindhearted grandmother, and her friendly black Angus bull calf, Baby, are inseparable. As Baby begins to grow, it becomes obvious to everyone--except Big Mama--that Baby needs a more suitable home. The story is sentimental, but the book's gentle full-page acrylics depicting the Texas countryside and small-town camaraderie bring Baby and Big Mama's unique friendship to life.
