About this title

About the Author:

Alison Lester is the well-known creator of many popular and award-winning children’s books, including Are We There Yet? winner of the 2005 CBC Book of the Year Picture Book award; The Snow Pony short-listed for YABBA and KOALA awards; and The Quicksand Pony, short-listed for the National Children’s Award.

From School Library Journal:

PreSchool--While Lester's soft-edged pastel illustrations sometimes have a whimsical (and often naughty) quality when depicting children at play, they are not strong enough to save the series' bland texts. "Baby is happy,/ Baby is sad,/Baby is good,/ Baby is bad" is just a sample of the inane verse found in these four toddler titles. All of the illustrations are double-page spreads done in muted colors; each spread is bordered by very small drawings that relate back to the main picture, but most of the objects in these petite drawings are too small for or will be unfamiliar to toddlers. This series represents the kind of books that adults often pick up and say, "How sweet," and then find themselves searching for a less boring alternative.
