Book Description
for My Mama Needs Me by Mildred Pitts Walter and Pat Cummings
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
Jason feels left out when his mother comes home from the hospital with a new baby. But a chance to help bathe the baby plus a warm hug from mother, reassure Jason that he is loved and needed. The pop art is 1980's in style, but the realistic pictures contain a softness appropriate to the subject. Variety in patterns and perspectives distinguishes Cummings' approach to illustration. (Ages 4-6)
