About the Author:

Manning is an Albert Whitman author.

From School Library Journal:

PreS-A simple look at the nurturing nature of and similarities between animal and human mothers. Supermoms come in many sizes and colors, including 26 familiar animals and women from a variety of ethnic groups. Despite the diversity, these moms have much in common. "Supermom has babies! She lays eggs-or she carries her babies inside her body until they're born." The accompanying illustrations show a mother snake coiled around her eggs and the rounded bellies of a blue whale, a cat, and a human mother inset with pictures of their growing babies. Captions next to each figure give additional facts, e.g., "Blue whales are the biggest moms on earth!" "Cats can have lots of babies." Other spreads show animal and human moms bathing, cuddling, protecting, and feeding their young. The text and colorful cartoon-style illustrations set against ample white space work together to lead the eye across the pages. The watercolor, graphite, and crayon artwork reflects the light approach to the scientific facts, similar to this team's My Body, Your Body (Watts, 1997), and gives the book a warm and comfortable tone.-Carolyn Janssen, Children's Learning Center of the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, OH
