FROM THE CRITICS

School Library Journal

PreSA winning quartet of board books. In a style reminiscent of Dav Pilkey's work, Kitamura has created four animal characters, each faced with a decision: where to sleep, what to drink, how to bathe, and what to eat. Resolving these dilemmas requires hilarious experimentation (the cat curling up in the saucepan is a hoot) and myriad facial expressions, from bewilderment to frustration to satisfaction. The straightforward texts are a perfect fit for the illustrations. Youngsters will connect immediately with the simple plot lines and familiar situations. No cutesy, patronizing stuff herethese genuinely funny books assume that toddlers have a sense of humor.Ann Cook, Winter Park Public Library, FL
