About the Author
Leslie Patricelli made her board-book debut with the winsome Big Little, Quiet Loud and Yummy Yucky. Blankie and its companion book Binky make up what the author calls her "attachment series." Blankie, she says, "was created as an ode to that beloved item. I wrote it when my son was nearing three, and the narrative voice of the baby reflects that of my son at this age."
Reviews
PreS. Patricelli explored opposites in her previous board books, including Big Little and Quiet Loud (both, 2003). In her latest, she explores typical toddler emotions and activities through a child's relationship with a favorite security item. Clutching a beloved blanket, a diapered tot announces, "Blankie comes everywhere with me." The uncluttered pictures show the toddler taking Blankie to preschool, the store, and the doctor; holding it while watching TV, during time-outs, during toothbrushing. Finally, the toddler drags Blankie to bed, where it comforts the round-eyed narrator: "Blankie isn't afraid of the dark. But I am." Patricelli's plain, effective words echo the neat, minimalist pictures. Pleasing figures rendered with strong black outlines and almost stick-figure simplicity are set against slightly textured, monochromatic backgrounds on sturdy, square pages. Children will easily recognize the deep bond between the child and the beloved object, and as in a companion volume, Binky, about a child with a pacifier, this offers a warm, comforting view of a toddler's daily world.
