Illustrated by
Anna Currey.
When Billy dawdles one morning, he and Mama are late for nursery school; in her hurry, Mama rushes off to work without giving Billy his toy rabbit or telling him that she loves him. The happy resolution is sweet without being saccharine, and both text and illustrations--loose but effectively composed color washes--capture the stresses and joys of preschool life.
