Illustrated by
Jane Manning.
At the zoo, a boy asks whether animals must wear seatbelts, use helmets, or hold their mothers' hands. No, mom replies, animals protect their children in other ways, but as for her, she'll always be there to keep him warm and safe. Kurtz uses vivid language, but the rhymes are often awkward. Cheery illustrations show a variety of smiling animal families.
