Illustrated by
Paul Carrick.
The text in this gentle, lulling bedtime story of maternal love is brief, but complete. The acrylic paintings seem in their spaciousness and immediacy to expand the book's small size: they brim with child-appealing, close-up portraits of mother animals and their babies. Everything about this small and cozy book--topic, tone, format--is just right for the intended audience.
