　　Publishers Weekly Bauer (If You Were Born a Kitten) and Elwell(Three Brave Women) explore the depths, delights and ferocity ofthe mother-child bond and for the most part, their foray intounabashed emotion works well. Bauer's rhymed text brings to mindthe poignant vulnerability of a mash note from a young child: "Mymother is pretty./ My mother is brave./ My mother still loves mewhen I misbehave." But because the sentences are parceled out oneper page, the effect is never cloying. Elwell's stunning,diaphanous pastel illustrations flirt with the conventions ofcalendar art: his characterizations are mostly grounded in arealistic appreciation of the natural world, but the gauzy surfacesand the intensity of the animals' expressions are the stuff of pureromanticism. A tiger mother beams with pride as she carries herpliant cub by the scruff of the neck; a vigilant mother horned owlis regarded with utter adoration by her little puffball baby.Unfortunately, the final sequence, showing a girl creating agreeting card for her mother, lacks the intensity of the animalillustrations; the child's expressions seem a bit clich d.

<p>　　Publishers Weekly Bauer (If You Were Born a Kitten) and Elwell
(Three Brave Women) explore the depths, delights and ferocity of
the mother-child bond and for the most part, their foray into
unabashed emotion works well. Bauer's rhymed text brings to mind
the poignant vulnerability of a mash note from a young child: "My
mother is pretty./ My mother is brave./ My mother still loves me
when I misbehave." But because the sentences are parceled out one
per page, the effect is never cloying. Elwell's stunning,
diaphanous pastel illustrations flirt with the conventions of
calendar art: his characterizations are mostly grounded in a
realistic appreciation of the natural world, but the gauzy surfaces
and the intensity of the animals' expressions are the stuff of pure
romanticism. A tiger mother beams with pride as she carries her
pliant cub by the scruff of the neck; a vigilant mother horned owl
is regarded with utter adoration by her little puffball baby.
Unfortunately, the final sequence, showing a girl creating a
greeting card for her mother, lacks the intensity of the animal
illustrations; the child's expressions seem a bit clich d. An
actual card bearing the same illustration as that on the girl's is
included inside the back cover. Ages 1-5. (Apr.) Copyright 2001
