(3) K-3 This paean to the narrator's mother ("My mom's as beautiful as a butterfly...") shows Browne's sunny side, as he repeats a motif of hearts and flowers on every page, from endpapers to mom's bathrobe. But with touches such as his signature gorilla (on a cake) and transformations (juggled balls become cars and houses), Browne rescues the book from blandness.
