Book Descriptions
for One More Hug for Madison by Caroline Jayne Church
From The United States Board on Books for Young People (USBBY)
Mommy calls out to her mouse daughter, “Time for bed, Madison” (n.p.). What follows initially is a parent’s dream—Madison voluntarily stores her toys, washes her face, and brushes her teeth, then dons her pajamas. Bedtime quickly dissolves into one demand after another, until Mommy falls asleep as Madison whispers, “Just one last thing . . .” (n.p.). Collage, brush, and ink il lustrations with nubby, pulp-paper backgrounds provide a tactile appearance that is perfectly suited to the age group. lmp
