Illustrated by
Brendan Wenzel.
This anthropomorphic animal book introduces readers to a variety of patient moms and their "beastly," mischievous children. The babies' playfulness is reflected in the rollicking rhyming text and mixed-media illustrations, both of which have plenty of funny details (e.g., as the little elephants butt into Mom's back: "there goes Mama's noontime nap!"). An ideal read-aloud for similarly active little ones.
