Illustrated by
Jamie Littler.
A playful puppy racks his brain for a word that can sum up his intense feelings of comfort, delight, excitement, love, etc. If you didn't already guess from the title, it's mom. Colorful, energetic vignettes of the lovable, tail-wagging pup hold the rhyming think-aloud together. (Note: the punny title and happy resolution both lose their punch if you don't pronounce "mom" like a Brit.)
