As the sun sets, a ship moves across the water. Meanwhile, “the fathers are coming home.” The fish father swims back to his little fish; the bug father flies back to his little bugs. Words and pictures show the rabbit, daddy longlegs, dog, bird, snail, and pig returning as well. Lion “lives alone, so he comes home to himself.” When the ship docks, a sailor father returns to his little boy. In an age when picture books for young children too often drip with I-love-you treacle, Brown’s text treats a child’s love with the dignity it deserves. The story establishes a comfortable pattern, then breaks it just a bit before bringing the simple tale to a happy conclusion. With bold lines and mainly flat colors, the striking illustrations, “rendered as linocuts” in the publishers’ words, use line, form, color, and texture effectively to create a series of compelling images with a retro look. A fine choice for reading aloud. Preschool-Grade 1. --Carolyn Phelan
