Play Baby Play!

In this follow-up to Baby Baby Baby! and Go Baby Go! a towheaded baby joins a group of five friends in a daycare-like setting. They kick a bouncy ball, play musical instruments, and read together: “We like to hear a story/ We like to read a book/ There are lots of pictures/ Look/ Look/ Look!” Janovitz fills her spreads with bright colors and patterns, from a pea-green brick wall and orange carpet to the playmates’ overalls and dresses. A reassuring reminder of the fun to be had when Mom and Dad are away. Ages 1–up (Apr.)
