Tafuri, Nancy

I Love You, Little One

(4) PS In this oversized book, a doe tells her fawn that she loves him forever, "as the river loves you...giving you cool water to drink." Other animal mothers and finally a human mother also tie their love to the constancy of the natural world. Tafuri's text is repetitive and reassuring, if somewhat sentimental. The watercolor and colored pencil illustrations are softly patterned and endearing.
