A Potty for Me!: A Lift-the-Flap Instruction Manual

Rating:

Product Description
PreS–A pleasant and fairly innocuous addition to an already crowded field, this rhymed book with reinforced pages uses color cartoon illustrations of a child of indeterminate gender who tries, with mixed results, to use the potty. The upbeat text employs expressions like That’s okay! and Yeah! I really did it! If you already own Lara Jones’s I Love My Potty (Scholastic, 2002) or Harriet Ziefert’s Max’s Potty and Sara’s Potty (both DK, 1999; o.p.), you probably have enough on the subject. Read more »

Good Night, Gorilla

Rating:

Product Description
“Good night, Gorilla,” says the weary watchman as he walks by the gorilla cage on his nightly rounds at the zoo. The gorilla answers by quietly pickpocketing the guard’s keys, stealthily trailing him, and unlocking the cages of every animal the oblivious fellow bids goodnight to. Looking much like an exhausted father, the uniformed guard traipses home toward his cottage, while the lonely zoo animals softly parade behind him. The animals manage to slip into his bedroom and nestle unnoticed near his sleepy wife–until the bold little gorilla goes so far as to snuggle up beside her as she turns out the light. Read more »

On the Night You Were Born

Rating:

Product Description
The birth of a baby—”the one and only ever you”—causes jubilation throughout creation in this quietly celebratory picture book from newcomer Tillman. Polar bears dance, giraffes weave to the sound of brass horns, and “the moon smiled with such wonder/ that the stars peeked in to see you/ and the night wind whispered,/ ‘Life will never be the same.’ ” Tillman successfully sidesteps the soft-focus sappiness that can accompany this genre.
