PreS-Morris the mole and his wife, Mini, are expecting, and he wants more than anything for their babies to be happy. However, he is not at all sure what will please them, so he goes off to watch other infants. He tries flapping like birds, splashing like ducks, and hopping like bunnies, with disastrous results. Finally, presented with his own babies, Morris realizes that all they really need is love. The colorful cartoon illustrations invoke spring, picturing animals and their young cavorting everywhere amid flowers, butterflies, and green grass. Although not particularly unique, the book would fit nicely into a preschool storytime, with listeners participating in the flopping, hopping, and splashing going on.-Judith Constantinides, formerly at East Baton Rouge Parish Main Library, LA (c) Copyright 2012.
