Reviewed with Joanna Cole's When Mommy and Daddy Go to Work.
Ages 2-4. The author and illustrator of I'm a Big Sister (1997) and I'm a Big Brother (1997) offer Inside Mommy , classified as fact, begins with a simple explanation of a baby's development in the mother's uterus. It goes on to show the baby's birth, followed by his growth to a child of perhaps three or four years old. An appended "Note to Parents" offers a sound approach to talking with children: "Why should the discussion have a serious, instructional tone? Keep it light and warm." Go to Work , which is classified as fiction, reflects a child's day care experience, including the morning routine at home, the separation anxiety, the fun at day care, and finally, the parents' return. The first-person text ends, "Do you know what? Miss Terri and Mr. Ken were right. Mommy and Daddy did come back. They always do." A page of practical tips is appended. The simplicity and sensitivity of the writing is well matched by Chambliss' line and watercolor wash illustrations. The gentle colors and benevolent portrayals of characters help create a reassuring tone that makes the books natural starting places for family discussions. Carolyn Phelan
