Reviews

PreS—A bear cub delights in spending a fun-filled day with his mother. While adults may cringe at the grammatically incorrect title and uneven meter, preschoolers with an affinity for schmaltz might like it. "We make strings of flowers/and Mom is so clever/That her daisy chain/seems to go on forever!" The unbridled admiration the cub displays toward his mom is also evident in Edgson's soft, bright acrylic paintings. Overall, however, the story pales next to Anthony Browne's succinct, sublime My Mom (Farrar, 2005) or the innocent, cartoonish glee of Karen Katz's Mommy Hugs (S & S, 2006). Devoted fans of Ritchie's Me and My Dad! (Good Bks., 2007) may want this companion. Otherwise, it is unessential to any but the largest picture-book collections.—Rebecca Dash, New York Public Library
