“Marr and White produce a toddler sequel to
Bunny Roo, I Love You. . . . Pale, creamy backgrounds and sparse details keep the focus on the parent-child relationship, which is very sweet and tender, especially in the closing vignette of mother holding a snuggly child. . . . Both a sweet lap-read and a gentle exhortation that caregivers interact with their children.”—
