Baby Tamer
Kindergarten-Grade 3.  Clarabelle, Zeke, and Baby Lurleen have a plan?three plans actually?to drive their babysitter bonkers. However, the kids find that they have to pull out all the stops to get a rise out of Amanda Smeedy. Teague's wacky artwork and use of unusual perspective animates the rhyming tale. The text itself has a life of its own, often moving around the page in accordance with what is being said. Readers will be delighted by the antics of these youngsters and Amanda's nonchalance at their outrageous behavior. This fantasy will be a big hit in storytimes and, oddly enough, it will work well as a bedtime story.?Ann Cook, Winter Park Public Library, FLCopyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.
