This book is one of a series of picture books that are intended to illuminate the everyday functions of objects found in and around a toddler's environment. At first glance, a lamp seems like an odd choice, but makes sense once you think about it. Larry the Lamp helps his little friend find his ball, his cars, and his slippers. Because many young children are afraid of the dark, the light is a welcome friend at night as well.The story is less than fifteen pages making it the perfect length for young tots. Illustrations are large, colorful with exaggerated facial expressions that allow a young child to easily recognize the meaning. Giving the lamp human attributes widens the appeal to children. Highly recommended for children ages two through five.
