Publisher Description
Said the bunny to his mother, just as sweetly as could be, "When the baby bunnies come, will you still love me?" "Of course," said Mother Bunny. "You're my extra-special one. And I'll love you just as much when the baby bunnies come." Every child is anxious about the arrival of a new brother or sister. In Carol Roth's sweet, comforting story, various animal mothers-and one human one-reassure their little ones that love has no limits, and they will be loved as much as before. Daniel Howarth's soft watercolors tenderly depict the mother-child bond.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Displacement anxiety isn't the sole domain of humans. In this story, a lot of junior members of the animal kingdom from polar bear cubs to the tiniest mouse fret over what a new sibling will do to the family dynamic: Said the bunny to his mother, just as sweetly as could be,/ 'When the baby bunnies comes, will you still love me?' Of course, is the reassuring answer across all species. You're my moon and my sun, quacks a mother duck to her duckling. And there's room for me to love you all... each and every one. Ostensibly, there's nothing surprising about Roth's (All Aboard to Work Choo Choo!) direct, openhearted couplets or Howarth's (Hoppy Hanukkah!) cheery pastoral scenes, with their sweet echoes of mother-child activity (gardening, shopping, cuddling) even the title could be applied to any number of books. But there's a sophisticated level of expertise at work, evincing the ability to ladle on reassurance without being sappy or boring. Both grownups and kids should find that its appeal has plenty of staying power at least nine months' worth. Ages 2 5.
