Momma, Will You?

(4) PS Illustrated by Steve Johnson & Lou Fancher. "Momma, will you feed the hen? / Yes or no or maybe? / Scatter corn around the pen. / You and me and baby." Throughout one day, a little boy poses questions, all concerning animals, to his mother. Her carefully thought-out rhymed answers are refreshing (she's no yes-woman), but the sun-dappled paintings of the loving family have a somewhat over-idealized quality.
