Illustrated by
Rosalind Beardshaw.
A mole looks to other animals for tips on fatherhood, but his wife assures him he needn't fly like a bird or swim like a duck to make their children happy. "Our babies only need. . . love." The ending for this comical story is a bit drawn out, but the jaunty illustrations, with their many different animal babies, do have child appeal.
