for On Mother's Lap by Ann Herbert Scott and Glo Coalson

A newly illustrated edition of a picture book first published in 1972 features an Iñupiaq toddler learning to share his mother's attentions with a baby sister. Family bonds and homey security are depicted in both the text and full-color illustrations. The realistic, childlike conflict, reassuring resolution and patterned text make this a favorite read-aloud for young preschoolers. (Ages 2-4)
