Baby Loves

William Lach, Metropolitan Museum of Art. Atheneum Books, $12.95 (48pp) ISBN 978-0-689-85340-1

Baby Loves by William Lach features the well-known mother-child images of American Impressionist Mary Cassatt. Each painting, print or pastel accompanies a two-word text describing the action (such as ""baby sits,"" ""baby cuddles"" or ""baby claps""). The beautiful bookmaking perhaps serves the art more than the intended audience.
