"More More More," Said the Baby: 3 Love Stories
Affectionate names for active toddlers (Little Guy, Little Pumpkin and Little Bird); exploratory activities emphasizing basic human features (belly button, toes and eyes); repetitive baby-focused narratives centered on three times of every toddler's day (waking up, being up and falling asleep); three loving adults guiding and caring for the babies (a daddy, a grandma and a mama); and color triads expressing the emotionally rich short pieces which "catch up" listeners and receivers are all combined in exuberantly unified paintings full of encircling love. The rhythmic text is painted within the larger rhythmic paintings. The handsome jacket art is harmonious with the warmth and excitement within this diversely pictured 11 1/4" x 10" world of color-filled words and images. ©1992 Cooperative Children's Book Center
