LOOK WHO'S A MOTHER!

Insouciant, saucy, gay poems of motherhood and raw infantry, further enlivened by brightly smart introductory essays on all aspects of parenthood, its drawbacks as well as its compensations. A facile phrasemaker and a deft versifier, Fishback does it easy like duck's back, and supplies a natural for the recent and about-to-be-mother gift book market. The illustrations are in perfect keeping with the text.
