And so can I!

School Library Journal

PreS Gillham's bright, clear photo graphs capture children and animals demonstrating early motor skills. Each left-hand page pictures a familiar ani mal in motion, accompanied by a single descriptive sentence. The facing page shows a child accomplishing the same activity with the repeated phrase, ``And so can I!'' The sense of mastery is complete with the last two pages, which shows a child reading a book; something an animal cannot do. With a format similar to The Early Words Pic ture Book (Putnam, 1983) , the simple text and charming photographs should prove popular with toddlers. Many li brarians will purchase this valuable ad dition for their toddler collections, and so can you! Debby Jeffery, San Fran cisco Public Library
