Kookaburra would busily bake Mama's beloved beetle-bug cake. Wallaby and Mama would go for a walk, speaking of love in their hisssss-hiss talk. Each animal would show Mama love in their own special way. Featuring playful rhymes and adorable art, the story highlights the joys of the mother-child relationship through an imaginative lens. If Animals Said I Love You, Mama is ideal for bedtime and gift-giving.
