"Who loves the messy pup? / 'Come on, dear, I'll help clean up.' Mama loves her little pup." This question-and-answer rhyming text reassures young ones that even though they can be messy, grumpy, loud, or naughty, they will always be loved and cared for. The tone of the soothing text and warm mama-and-child illustrations is just right for bedtime.
