Did My Mother Do That?

(4) PS Illustrated by Brian Lovelock. Holly's father explains how various animal moms care for their newborns ("If you were a baby owl, your mother would have fed you mice") before describing how her own mother cared for her when she was a baby. The book is a sticky-sweet treatment of an otherwise enlightening concept. Lovelock gracefully contrasts watercolor, acrylic, ink, and colored-pencil illustrations of the human father and daughter with images of the animal pairs.
