Walker Look At You Wow What A Body Can Do

Wiggle, tickle, sneeze...and giggle! Isn't it amazing what a body can do? From learning to crawl to clapping their hands, babies are fast learners! "Look at You!" explores early actions, sensations and emotions in a simple, charming and accessible way. Kathy Henderson's lively, poetic text and Paul Howard's warm illustrations perfectly capture babies' delight at exploring their own abilities and the world around them. Editorial Reviews From School Library Journal Starred Review. PreS--In this loving celebration of all things baby, Henderson lyrically commemorates a small child's amazing feats, from crawling to clapping to exploring food with their entire bodies. "Stand./wobble./Sway/wobble. Bump!/Step/walk/toddle!" The oversize pencil-and-watercolor illustrations are warm and soft, with perfectly captured body movements and facial expressions. These babies are wide-eyed, innocent, and irresistible, and their feelings are right on target. "I want yours! No! It's mine!" is prompted by a tug-of-war over a bottle. "I feel lonely" shows a solitary child in a swing, while "I feel fine" shows a little girl hugging her stuffed bear. A lovely book for group or individual sharing.--Linda Zeilstra Sawyer, Skokie Public Library, IL Copyright å¨ Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

The children pictured here are not only cute but also doing all sorts of things young viewers will respond to, making this an ideal book for sharing. On restful pages of sage, aqua, and orchid, little ones of all ethnicities giggle, play, and eat, and, during the course of three pages, one towhead learns to walk--with plenty of wobbling in between. Sometimes there are several babies to a page; sometimes one takes up a whole spread. Close-ups feature a naked, wiggling babe (naughty bits covered) looking for its toes. Another shows a little girl in her high chair, peas and tomatoes all over face, bib, and tray: "Warm and squelchy, / scratchy, rough, sticky squishy. . . . Time for a bath!" Then comes the bath, and lots of bubbles: "Float / soap / splash / wash." The sheer exuberance of these children will make everyone, young and old, smile. An old-fashioned picture book, yet one that is totally interactive. Ilene Cooper Copyright å© American Library Association.
