illustration.

Board Book Bonanza Eric Carle offers a board book edition of Does a Kangaroo Have a Mother, Too? "Yes! A kangaroo has a mother. Just like me and you," reads the opening. "Does a lion have a mother, too?" Carle's signature collages punctuate the repetitive phrasing, which invite participation. (Apr.) Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.
PreS-A feast of color from the cutout letters of the title to the endpapers. The repetitious text is perfect for the toddler set. "Does a lion have a mother, too? Yes! A LION has a mother. Just like me and you." The text is repeated on every spread as the author showcases a dozen different animal mothers and their babies. The question, "And do animal mothers love their babies?" is answered on the last page: "YES! YES! Of course they do. Animal mothers love their babies, just as yours loves you." The vibrant artwork is classic Carle and should delight its audience. A concluding page lists terms for each animal baby, mother, father, and group. This book could be combined with Deborah Guarino's Is Your Mama a Llama? (Scholastic, 1989) for a great Mother's Day storyhour.-Janet M.
