School Library Journal

PreSA simple yet focused concept book that captures the small yet vital ways a young child interacts with his or her surroundings. Each double-page spread presents one activity or concept, be it Peek-a-boo!, or Uh-oh! Each verso boasts a single close-up photograph of a youngster performing an activity (e.g., so big!) while on the right, a bevy of babies is shown following suit. Each child is depicted with great clarity and immediacy. Facial and body expressions are perfect representations of the ideas at hand. One baby plays peek-a-boo with a hat over his face; another has dumped a bowl of spaghetti in his lap, All gone! The ethnically diverse youngsters are wearing colorfully patterned diaper covers and nothing else, adding to the simplicity and to the attractiveness of the pages. A title completely in tune with a babys world.Martha Topol, Traverse Area District Library, Traverse City, MI Copyright 1999 Cahners Business Information.
