I Love You, Baby!

(4) PS Illustrated by Judi Abbot. This love letter in rhyme describes just how much a parent loves his or her child: e.g., "Hide-and-seek and peekaboo--we find fun in all our play. / If there are tiny tumbles, my love kisses them away!" The exclamation-point-laden text is cloying, though the colorful illustrations, depicting various smiling animal parents tenderly caring for their offspring, provide genuine warmth.
