Gr. K-1. This small, square picture book, which is part of the Rookie Readers series, may get as much use with toddlers learning to speak as with beginning readers. There are just a few words in clear type on each white left-hand page. Charlie's fingers are chilly, then his toes, then his elbows, his cheeks, his nose. How can Charlie warm up? Drink cocoa in a mug? Wrap up in a blanket? No. Charlie needs a hug. Opposite the words are full-page line-and-watercolor pictures of Charlie and his cat. New readers will enjoy pointing to the cozy pictures and repeating the simple, rhyming words. Hazel Rochman
