(4) K-3 Illustrated by Satomi Ichikawa. "I am your parent; / you are my child. / I am your quiet place; / you are my wild." A teddy bear parent narrates the rhyming couplets that convey how much parent and child love each other. Many of the metaphors are nicely poetic; a few seem forced. Soft watercolors illuminate details of the verse, which is generally sweet, occasionally cloying, but always affectionate.
Reviewer: Frieda F. Bostian
