Baby Radar

From School Library Journal PreSchool-A toddler glimpses "the eyes of cars," lots of shoes, people's faces-or maybe a dog's face-on a beautiful fall day. She tries to untie a shoe and grab a tissue from someone's bag. She gets out of her stroller and jumps, runs, and feeds the ducks; gets back in her stroller; stops at the store; and returns home, eyes closed. The brief, lyrical phrases, perfectly paired with realistic pen-and-watercolor illustrations set on a white expanse, give a toddler's view of the world-the humor, delight, and exuberance of life. This is sheer pleasure for storytimes or sharing at home.
