Overview / 简介: |
| Mothers care for their babies in all kinds of ways. A mother duck keeps her eggs warm, a mother cat washes her little ones with her warm, gentle tongue, a mother goose chases intruders away from the nest . . . and a human mother lovingly tucks her child in and kisses him good night. The profound connection between mother and child emanates from every word and brush stroke as Carol Carrick's spare, elegant text and her son Paul Carrick's luminous paintings join to create a tender and reassuring picture book. |
From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| PreSchool-Each double-page spread shows an animal mother with one or more of her babies engaged in some kind of typical activity: a pig nurses her litter, a cat licks her kittens clean, etc. Their actions are described in the simple text. "Mother keeps her babies clean,/and close,/and safe from harm." "Mother takes them out and shows them off." Readers are then reassured, "Mothers are like that." The last spread shows a human mother, tucking her baby into a crib, with "a kiss good night." Youngsters will enjoy looking at the soft, realistic acrylic paintings of familiar animals-sheep, cows, horses, ducks, raccoons, dogs, and more. The artist's soft colors and gentle shadows, coupled with the caring and affection evident in the postures and actions of the mothers, make this a reassuring bedtime book. |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| I give this book 5 stars because of the illustration that Paul Carrick displays. I have a eleven month old daughter and she loves to be read to and the pictures just caught her eyes and kept her with me till the end of the story. Everybody knows how hard that is. I would reccomend this to anybody with children. |
