(4) PS This pair of picture books features animal parents and their young engaging in humanlike parent-and-child activities. General statements--"there are some dads who worry"; "some moms are tough"--are expanded by scenes illustrating each type of parent. The pictures seem conjured to fit the rhyme rather than a connecting theme, but an up-tempo rhythm makes for a quick and pleasant-enough read-aloud. Review covers these titles: Some Dads and Some Moms.
