Illustrated by
Susan Keeter.
An adoring mother speaks to her toddler in a lyrical outpouring of love: "My heart / skips uh bop for you." Realistic illustrations from a variety of perspectives, including some effective close-ups, show the two cuddling, playing, and dancing. The book may have more appeal for adults, but it presents opportunities for parent/child interaction ("I wanna squeeze ya") that young listeners may enjoy.
