Gorgeous illustrations, who will love these naughty, pouty, crying animals, their momma's do. Little boy asks at the end, momma will you always love me?! ( )

I, personally, consider more than one "mommy loves her baby" book one too many. However, my guru of all things baby and "normal", our adult services librarian, informs me you cannot have too many "mommy loves her baby" books. Annoyingly, she appears to be correct. Of course, this particular one, Who loves the little lamb by Lezlie Evans is also illustrated by the versatile but unmistakable David McPhail, so we will make an exception. Just this once. One by one, we see fussy, messy, clumsy, naughty animal children - and one by one we see a loving mama for each animal.

Verdict: Charming McPhail illustrations and a theme that never fails to attract parents of babies and toddlers make this a definite must for your library collection.
