(2) PS And what of the toddlers who long for independence, often preferring to browse books solo? The Goldilocks-ish trim size for them might be around eight inches square on thick pages with rounded corners, with page thicknesses that are thinner than board pages but thicker than those of picture books. Notable 2025 examples include the Leo series, Leo Takes a Bath and Leo Wakes Up Grumpy by Corlette ­Douglas. Toddlers will relate to the everyday experiences of this Afro-crowned youngster while they are learning to turn pages and handle books independently. Review covers these titles: Leo Takes a Bath and Leo Wakes Up Grumpy.
