Kirkus Reviews
"In the spring when things turn green, / many babies can be seen. / Fuzzy bunnies, / sleepy sheep... / ...little chicks that like to peep." With a verbal and visual aesthetic that's skewed to the aggressively cute, this gooey offering presents a parade of predictably sweet babies (no baby gators or dragonfly nymphs here), each with a touch-and-feel patch to encourage tactile encounters. There's little in the text to guide babies toward a description of what they're feeling, which requires readers either to break the rhythms to explain just exactly what the chicks' beaks are supposed to feel like (which is . . . ?) or to ignore the touch-and-feel component in order to keep the textual flow. Either way, it's a miss. (6-18 mos.)
