Ages 2-5. Moms do many things for their children. After they give birth or lay eggs, they often provide food and shelter, transportation, entertainment, protection, and love. How humans of various races and animals accomplish this is the focus of Manning's book. A brightly colored pen-and-ink and watercolor painting shows a human mom scooting along on her motorbike, her youngster seated behind her. Smaller illustrations on the same double-page spread show a monkey swinging with her baby clinging to her back, an orca swimming alongside her young, and a swallow flying to her babies' nest. The spare text and the captions accompanying the pictures are in different type styles and sizes, which give a cartoon look to the pages. The animals pictured are identified and their behaviors explained in the Supermom Index at book's end. Manning acknowledges that some animals, like snakes, merely lay eggs and then leave and that the "scary" supermom, pictured with multiple piercings and tricolor hair, may be offensive to some. A hint about a sequel on fathering concludes. Ellen Mandel

PreS-A simple look at the nurturing nature of and similarities between animal and human mothers. Supermoms come in many sizes and colors, including 26 familiar animals and women from a variety of ethnic groups. Despite the diversity, these moms have much in common. "Supermom has babies! She lays eggs-or she carries her babies inside her body until they're born." The accompanying illustrations show a mother snake coiled around her eggs and the rounded bellies of a blue whale, a cat, and a human mother inset with pictures of their growing babies. Captions next to each figure give additional facts, e.g., "Blue whales are the biggest moms on earth!" "Cats can have lots of babies." Other spreads show animal and human moms bathing, cuddling, protecting, and feeding their young. The text and colorful cartoon-style illustrations set against ample white space work together to lead the eye across the pages. The watercolor, graphite, and crayon artwork reflects the light approach to the scientific facts, similar to this team's My Body, Your Body (Watts, 1997), and gives the book a warm and comfortable tone.-Carolyn Janssen, Children's Learning Center of the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, OH
