Playing (Clavis Toddler: Daily Life)
A round-headed boy likes his stuff. As he informs readers, “This is my car. / I like to play with my car. / I push my car very far. / Toot! Toot!” Each spread of sturdy, thick paper shows a toy (blocks, a drum, a book) opposite a scene of the boy playing with it. At the end, he pulls everying off in his red wagon. Short and focused, this will resonate with pre-readers, but the simple text makes it a choice for those who are just learning to read as well. Preschool. --Ilene Cooper
