Animal parents declare their love for their offspring through rhymed puns and sentimental art.The title sets the scene for what's to come: The owl asks the owlet as they fly together, "WHOO loves you?"; the kangaroo and joey make each other "very HOPPY"; and the lioness and cub are a "PURRRFECT pair." Most of the puns are both unimaginative and groanworthy, and they are likely to go over the heads of toddlers, who are not know for their wordplay abilities. The text is set in abcb quatrains split over two double-page spreads. On each spread, one couplet appears on the verso within a lightly decorated border on pastel pages. On the recto, a full-bleed portrait of the animal and baby appears in softly colored and cozy images. Hearts are prominent on every page, floating between the parent and baby as if it is necessary to show the love between each pair. Although these critters are depicted in mistily conceived natural habitats and are unclothed, they are human stand-ins through and through.The greeting-card art and jokey rhymes work for the baby-shower market but not for the youngest readers.
