Reviews

Toddler-PreS—In Farrington's debut picture book, monster parents ask, "Do you know what I love?" The monster children, who look like a combination of cute animals and aliens, are shown doing typical toddler and preschooler activities. Monster parents love their children when they smile, sing, create, and show kindness to others. Silliness means playing dress-up. Bravery is illustrated with a go-kart ride down a hill. Reading and sleeping merit extra love. The mixed-media illustrations consist of collages of different textures, patterns, and colors. Verbs stand out from the main text. VERDICT Children will feel loved after listening to this title read aloud to them. A bright and appealing lapsit choice.—Tanya Boudreau, Cold Lake Public Library, Alta.
