[ 책 소개 ]
마이클이 가장 좋아하는 곳은 바로 엄마의 무릎 위입니다. 특히 엄마가 흔들의자에 앉아서 마이클이 좋아하는 보트, 인형, 강아지를 함께 안고서 흔들흔들해주면 더 이상 포근한 곳은 없지요. 하지만 침대에서 자고 있던 아기가 깨서 운다면 엄마는 아기를 품안에 꼭 안고 달래주지요. 엄마의 무릎을 빼앗긴 마이클은 뾰루퉁 해져서 담요를 뒤집어 씁니다. 하지만 엄마의 무릎은 아기도, 동생도, 장난감도, 강아지도 모두 올려놓고 안아줄 수 있을 만큼 넓고 넉넉합니다.
엄마의 따뜻하고 넉넉한 사랑을 느끼게 해주는 아름다운 이야기를 에스키모인들의 삶을 배경으로 해서 정감있게 보여줍니다.

Book Description
A little Inuit boy discovers there's room for himself and his baby sister on their mother's lap.
Publisher's Weekly
The furnishings are few in this chilly Eskimo dwelling, but when Michael jumps in Mother's lap, the love between them warms the room, as ``back and forth, back and forth, they rock.'' Michael runs to get Dolly, then his carved boat, a reindeer blanket and even his puppy: the small rocking chair is full. When Baby cries, Mother insists there's room for her too, but Michael pouts and hides. All of them end up back in the chair, crowded but cozy; Michael admits, ``It feels good.'' Pastels in earth tones and turquoise create a luminous setting with the captivating faces of the serene mother and her two small children. Though the story is very slight, it makes a reassuring point for little ones, who need to know that a mother's love is an expandable quantity.
Children's Literature
The story is familiar. Michael's favorite place to be is on Mother's lap while they rock back and forth in a rocking chair. He brings his favorite things--a dolly, a boat, his reindeer blanket, and a puppy. When baby wakes up crying and wants to join them, Michael claims there is no more room. Leave it to Mama, she finds room for everyone and everything. What adds special interest is the family--they are Inuits and the setting shows them in a cozy home. A brief glimpse out the window shows a snowy landscape and parka clad youngsters playing outside.
School Library Journal
Coalson improves upon a fine original work, drawing the Eskimo mother as a younger woman and adding color, finer lines, and details of contemporary Inuit life. Scott's spare, gentle text has not been altered; the difference is its placement on the page. The universality of all-encompassing maternal love transcends ethnicity and still rings true in the update, but Coalson's realistic, warm illustrations give On Mother's Lap revitalized energy to reach a new generation of youngsters. Libraries still owning the earlier work can get by, but this one is a top choice.
Ingram
Scott's well-loved story sensitively captures the cozy warmth of a universal childhood experience, portrayed in an Eskimo setting. Michael loves cuddling in the rocking chair with his mother and his favorite toys. When his baby sister wants to join in, Michael learns that there's enough room--on Mother's lap and in her heart--for all. Full color.
