Illustrated by
Maggie Smith.
Spring, summer, winter, fall: the best of times in every season are those spent with a loving mommy or daddy. In these companion books, two children use metaphors to express their feelings for their parents. Realistic, perky illustrations capture the affection between the boy and his father and the girl and her mother, but the rhyming text borders on syrupy. Review covers these titles: Daddy Is a Cozy Hug and Mommy Is a Soft, Warm Kiss.
