Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 2004 | Age Level: 3 and up

Award-winning author Eve Bunting writes about the love between mama and baby...

"Once there was a little brown puppy who loved his mama very much. So he got the the best present he could find--a big, beautiful bone...."
A little brown puppy, a little baby turtle, a snowy white kitten, and other baby animal friends...each finds a present for Mama, which the little one delivers with a sweet little rhyme such as: "This bone was very hard to get./It's from a dinosaur, I bet."
And each mama demonstrates her appreciation and her love. "I love the bone, my little brown puppy. And I love you," Mama says.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-K--Little Brown Puppy bestows upon his mama a "big, beautiful bone" as a token of his love and devotion. His actions inspire his friends to present their mothers with lovely gifts as well. There are few surprises in this ode to family affection. Rather, the text is a catalog of each creature's present and the mother's equally tender response. Watercolor illustrations that are sweet without being saccharine enliven the text, but the book still doesn't break any new ground. An additional purchase.--Rosalyn Pierini, San Luis Obispo City-County Library, CA
