Reviews
PreSchool-- Although this familiar poem from the late 1800s may read nicely when in a collection, as a picture book the breadth of the story is limited. Plus, because of the way the text is divided among the pages, it takes several readings to catch the rhythm of the rhyme. The setting is a toy shop in which the two newcomers are placed side by side on a table. Street's bright, cheerful illustrations move between close-ups and broader perspectives that revolve around the shop as the action progresses. As the fight heats up, readers see the other antique toys reacting and becoming more animated. The story is narrated by a stuffed bear who stays on the outside of the picture frame. In the last illustration, he becomes one of the toys, sitting on the mantel by the Chinese plate and the old Dutch clock. As a first picture book, Street's outcome is admirable. One can only hope that her next effort will have a meatier text. --Martha Topol, Interlochen Public Library, MI
