Join baby as he plays hide-and-seek with Mommy. A child clad in red overalls leads a search for Mommy behind a green closet door and under a checked tablecloth in the kitchen before discovering her under a blanket in the bedroom. The child looks in the closet, behind a big overstuffed chair, under the table and finally under the covers on Mommy's bed, where the clever Mom has hidden and probably enjoyed a little rest. As the cute little boy lifts the flaps, he spies many of his toys, beginning with his red wagon in the closet. While his adventure continues, he adds the items found behind the flaps to his wagon. By the time he finds Mommy, his wagon is full.

A mother expresses her love for her child as he grows. When she is old and frail, it's the child's turn to express his love. The mother sings to her sleeping baby: "I'll love you forever / I'll love you for always / As long as I'm living / my baby you'll be". She still sings the same song when her baby has turned into a fractious 2-year-old, a slovenly 9-year-old and then a raucous teen. So far, so ordinary--but this is one persistent woman. One day her son leaves her home as he feels he is grown up enough o take care of him. Then this woman takes to driving across town with a ladder on the car roof, climbing through her grown son's window and pampering the sleeping man in the same fashion. Then, inevitably, the day comes when she's too old and sick to hold him, and the roles are at last reversed.

This is a simply wonderful book about a brilliant mother's response to sibling rivalry. It spotlights two young sons on a fishing expedition with their mother. Each boy is angling to be tops with Mom. Clearly an experienced peacemaker, Mama offers just the right answers when the boys inquire which of them, for example, who is the best rower: "Why, Julian, you took the deepest strokes. And Max, your strokes were fastest." As she tucks them into bed that night, they each pose the ultimate question: "Who do you love best?" She loves one the "bluest", the other the "reddest". It is up to presiding adults to explain how these add up to the "purplest".

This story is about an African American youngster and his mother who saunter down the street just any old way. They first "zig-zag walk"and then take "big giant steps and talk in loud giant voices". Sometimes they glide along in "slow-motion steps," discussing "molasses and birthdays and how long they take." This playful ritual shows a tender, affectionate mother-son relationship, made all the more fun by the parent's willingness to join in this original perambulation. Smalls-Hector's lively, melodious language gives a joyful sense of this shared experience; particularly inventive is the manner in which the protagonists' conversational gambits match their gait of the moment. Mothers and offspring alike will delight in the final picture, as down the street these characters meander, appropriately taking "Jonathan-and-Mommy steps" toward home.
