Illustrated by
Jane Chapman.
Brief, well-chosen rhyming phrases describe a wide array of animal mothers in this amusing book with a pleasing design. "Mommy snoozing, Mommy lazy / clumsy Mommy--whoopsy-daisy!" appears on a double-page spread with a painting of a seal dozing and a penguin slipping on the ice. With its variations in size, color, and placement, the typeface complements the spacious illustrations.
