What I See

School Library Journal

PreSGoennel's first board books feature her characteristic flat, brightly colored acrylic illustrations. The essence of simplicity, each page contains a single word for the everyday object pictured. The pages are completely filled with a solid color on which the picture ``floats,'' with the exception of What I See, which depicts elements relating to the four seasons anchored to either water, sand, ground, or snow. Every spread shows a pair of related items, such as seeds/flowers, soup/sandwiches, towel/bath, and house/fence. The lively colors and familiarity of the subject matter are sure to make these titles popular choices.Emily Kutler, Summit Free Public Library, NJ
