Review

Mommies are great at so many different things. But whether they're helping you make a garden grow, taking you trick-or-treating, or tucking you in with a good-night kiss, all moms are doing one thing best: giving you "lots and lots of love." In Laura Numeroff and Lynn Munsinger's companion to What Daddies Do Best, animal moms shower their offspring with loving gestures. Munsinger's appealing watercolor illustrations show a massive bear mum teaching her cub how to ride a bike (helmets on, of course!). In another image, a mama mouse holds her weeping child, a telltale moving van in the background undoubtedly whisking away a best friend; still another depicts a pair of porcupines in pajamas, cozying up for a bedtime story. As in the Daddies book, the running text simply describes what readers are seeing: "Mommies can watch the sun set with you." Young readers will be reassured and delighted by this tribute to good old mom. (Ages 2 to 6) --Emilie Coulter
