PS
Babies are introduced to various “things” meted out page by page from dawn to dusk in rhymed couplets and gentle, earth-toned, mixed-media illustrations: “The world is full of things to meet... / Things with hands and things with feet.” Standard board-book objects (tree, boat) and animals (cat, dog) appear, but there are surprises too, introducing rich vocabulary: “Things that twang and things that peal” (a guitar and bell, respectively). It’s lovely, lively, and lyrical.
