Cake Day

(4) PS Small Talk Books series. Illustrated by Estelle Corke. Grandma models complex vocabulary for her very young grandson as she explains the ingredients and steps for baking a treat (Cake); Grandpa uses words such as enormous and difficult as he and little Rosa put laundry away and use their imaginations (Rosa). A purposeful series modeling ways adults can help develop children's language skills; both books have sunny illustrations that reflect warm and nurturing relationships. Review covers the following Small Talk Books titles: Cake Day and Rosa's Very Big Job.
