Reviews
This bedtime book is full of "if I were a ..." rhymes as it goes through what the mother- or parent-child relationship would be like as certain animals. The sweet rhymes were fun and not all the exact same rhythm, which I liked. The illustrations were cute and added to this lovely bedtime story.
