(4) K-3 Illustrated by Harry Horse. In yet another book idealizing the parent-child relationship, a bear cub "helps" Mama all day: he loves her so much that he'll do anything for her. That night she uses his pledge to coax the worn-out cub to sleep ("Would you shut your eyes for me?"). Visual vignettes of varying sizes create a pleasing layout, and the story is sweetly satisfying--but it's more parent wish fulfillment than picture book.
Reviewer: Martha V. Parravano
