You Don't Look like Your Mother

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Lilith Jones. A robin flies around the forest finding babies and exclaiming how each looks nothing like its mother: the legless tadpole doesn't resemble a "hoppy frog"; the fuzzy yellow ducklings aren't smooth and white like a duck. Written in prose but rhyming like verse, the text has a lively flow and a satisfying conclusion. The impressionistic paintings balance realism and charm.
