In Daddy, a father otter explains, in rhyming couplets, how much he loves his child: “When I became your daddy, you made my world complete. / I didn’t know the little things in life could be so sweet.” In Mommy, a mama bunny expresses the same feelings. The sentimental texts are more likely to interest mommies and daddies than their children, but the soothing, textured illustrations -- pastel-colored spreads showing the pairs’ day of frolicking and snuggling -- are appealing. Review covers these titles: When I Became Your Daddy and When I Became Your Mommy.
