Children's Literature
The textures, text, and graphics in this introduction to the summer season have all been created with the youngest listeners in mind. Activities include blowing bubbles, eating an ice pop, and splashing in a little kiddie pool. The textures include single blades of grass, the smoothness of an ice pop, reflecting sunglasses, and sparkly droplets of water. Turn the flap on the last page and you will see the little girl wrapped in a soft towel in her father's arms. All of these are just right for baby. The book design has been kept simple for the intended age group but there are still some things that a caregiver can point out to help build vocabulary, such as the flowers, the butterfly, the sailboat and the even the pink ribbons in the little girl's hair. If you are looking for a good book about the summer season for very young children, you should consider this title. Reviewer: Sharon Salluzzo
