100 Things I Know How to Do
An illustrated rhyming list includes typical accomplishments for most toddlers: “Tiptoe / say hello / zig-zag / play tag / say when / count to ten.” Schwartz’s charming spot illustrations for each of the hundred things show a variety of young children, often with an adult who is helping. Some of the listed items show solo activities (petting a dog, wearing a tutu, holding handrails) while others show activities with two or more children (playing school, wishing on wishbones, tossing balloons). Young children will want to pore over the often humorous gouache illustrations. A hundred things may seem like a lot, but this volume doesn’t seem to go on too long—the list of things, and the children doing them, are all too much fun to look at. ©2022 Cooperative Children’s Book Center
