Look, Look! Baby Animal Friends

A gentle rhyme guides readers through a chain of interactions among young animals: “Little duck sees a bear/ on the bank over there./ Little bear spots a bee./ Look, look, bunny, do you see?” The animals are often accompanied by their parents, and newcomer Downing, a British greeting card illustrator, pictures them as white silhouettes with tiny dot eyes; the animals are set against solid pastel backdrops. Building to a bedtime finale, the book offers a soothing introduction to half a dozen animals, as well as a reminder of the many things one’s eyes can spot during a single day. Simultaneously available: Cheep, Cheep! Baby Animal Sounds. Up to age 3. (Jan.)
