Mama Mama (Growing Tree)
PreSchool-Softly colored double-page spreads feature realistic-looking animal mothers (lioness, leopard, chimpanzee, koala, panda, elephant, and sea otter) and their babies, while simple four-line rhymes celebrate the love and care they give to them: "Mama, Mama,/Play with me,/Carry me/So I can see" or "Mama, Mama,/Show the way,/I am learning/Every day." Most libraries with board-book collections will want at least one copy of this gentle tribute to mothers and their little ones.Lisa Falk, Los Angeles Public LibraryCopyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc.
