"If you were my bunny and I was your mama, I’d pick you out from all the other bunnies and nestle you beside me." So begins this tender tale of animal mothers professing their undying love for their offspring. Bear cubs, kittens, ducklings, puppies and a human baby all have a turn in the spotlight here. And as a special, cuddly bonus, you can sing all the animal lullabies here --- each verse in the text can be sung to a familiar tune such as "Rock-a-Bye, Baby." McPhail’s gentle portraits of animal life make this a perfect choice for bedtime.
