(3) PS Illustrated by Ian Andrew. At bedtime, Molly asks her dad to "tell me one thing" about various animals. Dad describes each one, noting, "I know that it loves its babies"--something that, as Molly intimates at book's end, he has in common with the animals. The author shirks sentimentality by cleverly and humorously circling his theme of fatherly love; the illustrations are every bit as subtle and wry.
