Mama's Milk
Cuddle little baby warm and tight / Mama’s going to feed you day and night.” Nursing babies are everywhere in the natural world. Michael Elsohn Ross’ gentle, rhyming text describes the many places babies drink their mother’s milk, from high in a tree to deep in a burrow, inside a cave or under the water. Ashely Wolff’s illustrations show a specific creature for each location: monkey and infant (tree), coyote with pups (burrow), bat with pup (cave), dolphin with calf (sea), and many others. Of course human infants nurse, too, and there are scenes of mothers and nursing babies in a bed, at a park and in a rocking chair interspersed throughout this singular volume. ©2007 Cooperative Children's Book Center
