Yo Baby!

Anne Hutchings, a former elementary-school teacher-librarian with the
Durham Board of Education, is an educational consultant.

Yo Baby! is a perfect choice for sharing with young children. The large,
detailed illustrations are done in muted pastel shades, and a minimum of
text appears on each page. Youngsters will love the
repetition—“I’m not a …! I’m a …!”—and delight in
anticipating what will come next. While some of their predictions may be
slightly “off” (my three year old granddaughter said “dog”
instead of “handsome hound” and “monkey” instead of “big hairy
ape”), the final guess will undoubtedly be “baby!” Great fun!
Highly recommended.
