Overview / 简介: |
The little baby in this touching picture book can coo and crawl and grab her toes. But this baby grows up fast! As a big girl, she can run and draw--and even gives the potty a try. The story takes readers back and forth from baby to toddler, capturing all the fun growing up can be.
Jane Ann Peddicord's lyrical text and Meilo So's lush watercolors harmonize in an inspired celebration of baby beginnings and toddler triumphs.

From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| Human babies have been growing up for thousands of years now, but it's still an amazing phenomenon—at least to the babies and their parents. Peddicord (Night Wonders) marvels at how one baby girl in particular started out very soft and very new—why, she could not walk or even count to two. Buoyant rhymes describe her impressive feats— she bobbled in the bubble bath beneath a sudsy do./ That baby splashed and sprayed and played/ and made a floating boat parade—in between choruses explaining how the baby grew and grew and GREW! So (Moonbeams, Dumplings & Dragon Boats) proves an ideal partner for Peddicord's jubilant voice. Her infant heroine is as wide-eyed as they come, and kids will find her scenes of pint-size bliss familiar. The illustrator's colors have a gorgeous clarity and vibrancy—the oranges and yellows glow, the reds burst off the page. But even more important, this special little baby looks wonderfully ordinary: a bit lumpy in infancy (in one spread, her diaper is hilariously exaggerated), she becomes full of beans in toddlerhood. Attentive readers will have fun spotting parallels: a spread in which the baby gazes at a kitten precedes a picture in which the now older girl and her father sport painted-on cat faces. Preschoolers will adore seeing themselves become so mature—and so will their parents. Ages 3-7. (Sept.)

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| I don't write a lot of reviews, but I LOVE this book! My daughter, now two, loves it even more. The text is lyrically written but to the point, describing one little loved baby's transformation into a more dynamic, but still supremely loved toddler. As for the illustrations, I find them out of the ordinary, but in a good way. The wild watercolor pictures capture a kid's attention and communicate the vibrancy of childhood. This book would be best for little girls who are becoming aware of their new capabilities and expanding place in the world. |
