Little critters such as a butterfly, snail, and ladybug tell readers what they love about their mommies. As children turn the peek-through pages, they’ll help each baby find their mommy! Filled with gorgeous artwork that camouflages the moms, the pages are die-cut so that the found mom is a raised piece that kids can touch. When the page is turned, the piece fits into a scooped cutout on the opposite page. With sweet, rhyming text that details what the babies love about their mommies, this is an ideal read-aloud for Mother’s Day, as well as a great gift for baby showers and first birthdays.
