Toddler-PreS It's morning time for baby as the little one eagerly awaits Mama's arrival. As the mother cuddles, feeds, and plays with her young child, readers experience a full day through its eyes. Mama begins the day with the beloved words, "Who loves baby the most?" and the child is comforted by the memorable refrain. Kelley's text is steady and fluid and the inclusion of cursive and highlighted font adds interest. Subtle touches like,"I lift up my sleep sack," make this addition to the new baby genre feel fresh and modern. Cloud presents a visual adventure from baby's bedroom to a majestic dreamscape. The artist's warm earth tones mimic the calming nature that abounds throughout the narrative. Mama has brown skin and black hair, with baby's skin and hair both slightly lighter shades of brown. VERDICT This picture book's rhythmic language is as comforting as the swaying of a loving mother's arms; a sweet lulling, naptime read.Claire Moore, Manhattan Beach Lib., CA

Dear Mama's Loving Arms is a touching story about the importance of a mother's embrace and the joy it brings to children, told from the witty perspective of a child.

This book is a reminder to all mothers to stop and enjoy the bond we share with our children even when it is most challenging, like those days where all the baby wants is to be held. Despite longing for Dear Mama's embrace, Baby learns to defeat the big, bad daily nap time separation by joining Dear Mama in adventurous safari dreams inspired by Baby's stuffed giraffe pal, Raffie.
