Book Overview

"All of the characters . . . look cozy enough to cuddle. Readers will especially be drawn to Mama Mouse, who is huggably plump and convincing in her love for her child." - SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL Making their way home one evening, Little Mouse and his mother see other baby animals and their parents, all settling down for the night. Mama Seal says she'll dive as deep as the deepest ocean for her pups. Daddy Frog claims he'll jump as high as the sky and bring back the juiciest bugs. And Mama Rabbit will dig the deepest, most secret burrow to keep her little ones safe and warm. "What special, special babies," sighs Little Mouse. What could his mama ever do to show him how special he is? Jan Fearnley's humorous and endearing bedtime story captures the unique bond between parent and child - and reassures little listeners how very special they are.

Customer Reviews

A lovely simple book.

I bought this book a few months ago for my 4 year old. It is so very sweet, that I have trouble getting through it without choking up. It helps send the message that each child is so very special - in his mother's eyes. This is a book that helps me convey to my son the way I feel about him - in story form. The illustrations are also very nice and match the tone of the story perfectly. We like to read this at bedtime since it's such a calming little book. I look forward to reading this with my almost 2 year old as well.

Outstanding Children's Book

This is a wonderful and charming story with beautiful illustrations. My 3 year old son asks me to read this to him over and over. It's a bedtime favorite.
