Because You Are My Baby

(4) PS Illustrated by Sylvia Long. Mama desert animals tell their babies how they'll be taken care of: "I'll trot with care to keep you near, / grunt words of comfort in your ear." At the beginning and the end, a human mother also shares her love. Although the book's theme is overused, realistic renderings of the animals make it a good choice for nature lovers.
