     Another creature is on the loose. The long-running series continues its successful formula with this Hallmark card of a book, which features bright illustrations and catchy rhymes. This time, the mythical creature the racially diverse children set out to catch is an absent mom who does it all (lists of descriptors include the words banker, caregiver, nurse, doctor, driver, chef, housekeeper, teacher, entertainer, playmate, laundry service, problem solver, handywoman, cleaner, and alarm clock) but doesn't seem to have a job outside the home and is inexplicably a dinosaur. As the children prepare gifts and a meal for her, the text becomes an ode to the skills the Mamasaurus possesses ("Day or night she's always there. / She meets every wish and need") and values she instills ("Sometimes life can mean hard work," "kindness matters," and "what counts is doing your best"). This well-intentioned selection veers into cliche generously sprinkled with saccharine but manages to redeem itself with its appreciation for mothers and all that they may do. Endpapers include a "to" and "from" page framed in a heart, as well as a page where young gift givers or recipients can draw a picture of their Mamasaurus. A syrupy tribute to mothers that may please fans of the series. (Picture book. 3-6)

     PreS-Gr 2-Perfect for Mother's Day, the newest title in the popular "How to Catch" series features a group of kids trying to catch a Mamasaurus. On each page, the kids describe what a Mamasaurus means to them as they build traps and make special treats and crafts, while showing all the jobs a mother does for a family. The traps are generally depicted in the illustrations, as the text focuses on how Mamasaurus shares her love and support. The rhyme sequence feels clunky at times, but readers can build vocabulary-one word is highlighted on each page. Sketched and digitally painted illustrations add to the story, depicting the fun the kids are having as they get ready to celebrate a special person. VERDICT A good fit for readers celebrating moms and the maternal figures in their lives.-Sarah Polace
