PreS-K-This simple, repetitive meditation on motherhood will engage small children's minds and stimulate their curiosity. It starts out by answering the title question in the affirmative, and then goes on to ask whether a lion, a giraffe, and other animals also have mothers. It concludes by saying that all of these mothers love their young ones just like human moms love their children. Carle's distinctive illustrations convey the creatures in creative and amusing ways. This lovely book also offers a fun way to promote the recognition of letters and words. A surefire hit for libraries and bookstores.Rebecca Thatcher, Akron, PA Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.
