A rhythmic picture book describes a mother's affection for her child, from jumping together in the grass to rocking together before bedtime.

When what's expected to be a one-night stand is followed by an offer to visit a lakeside cabin in Tahoe, Brad postpones his flight back home to Hawaii. After all, what's waiting for him back there except the vague prospect of life after the Marine Corps? Besides, he is curious about Ron, the wealthy older man making the offer, who seems to be both intelligent and competent-but also dangerously reckless. And so it is that Brad finds himself mingling with the very, very elite while bit by bit discovering more of Ron's unsettled past-and all the while pondering his own unsettled future. UPDATED VERSION

"Sugar Babies is a riotously funny, nostalgic trip for those who remember burlesque and a happy discovery for those too young to recall this irreverent form of American entertainment. All of the classic scenes, including a hilarious dog act are here, along with such wonderful songs as "Exactly Like You", "I Can't Give You Anything But Love Baby" and "Don't Blame Me." "--Publisher.
