Illustrated by
David Walker.
Circling back periodically to a gorilla mother and child, sprightly rhymes use well-chosen words to tell how various animals might say "I love you." "Lion and cousins would tussle and tumble, / romp and roll in a joyful love jumble." As in If Animals Kissed Good Night, Walker's complementary art uses soft rounded shapes to enhance the affectionate tone of the text.
