**What was I like when I was born? The perennial question receives a
fanciful response in a tale that takes an interspecies tour of mothers
and babies.
**
Holly loves to hear the story of the night when she was born--but first
she needs to ask a lot of questions. Did her mother hatch her out of an
egg? Did she carry Holly in her pocket? Maybe she fed her baby mice for
dinner? As Holly and her dad rule out one imaginary scenario after
another, little listeners will be eager to join in, while learning some
interesting details along the way. And they'll be just as comforted as
Holly to hear one final, satisfying tale of a happy and loving human
mother on the day her baby was born.
