How a Baby Grows
PreSAIn this lilting book, babies find out about the things they can do, see, speak, hear, or share, from cooing and crying to tickles and hugs. Rhyming couplets end with the culminating phrase, "These are the things a baby knows,/And this is the way a baby grows." The easy, flowing presentation of ideas will be pleasing to young listeners. Although the book is comprised of only seven double-page spreads, much of how an infant interacts with the world is included. The eye-catching artwork features several round-faced youngsters with simple, pencil-line features. The crisp, colorful backgrounds are uncluttered, except for a smattering of toys and familiar objects.AMartha Topol, Traverse Area District Library, Traverse City, MICopyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.
