Reviews
PreS—This virtually plotless lift-the-flap story breaks no new ground but is likely to appeal to fans of Eric Hill's Where's Spot? (Putnam, 1980), Rod Campbell's Dear Zoo (Puffin, 1987), Lucy Cousins's "Maisy" (Candlewick), and other interactive books. Someone has walked through a puddle and tracked mud throughout the house and into the bathroom. On each spread, one large-type sentence explains the situation, e.g., "Someone has made muddy footprints in the kitchen," and a flap is lifted to reveal a different animal that says, "Not me!" In the bathroom, the shower-door flap conceals a lamb who says, "It's me—Parsnip! ...now I'm lovely and clean." The cartoon animals are appealing, if a bit overly sweet, and reminiscent of Nick Butterworth and Mick Inkpen's art. Observant readers will notice that Parsnip is splashing in the mud on the cover of the book and beginning to make a muddy trail on the title page, a nice touch that makes effective use of the entire book and invites repeated readings. The bright colors, repetition, and simple text are likely to hold most wiggly toddlers' attention, although the fact that the dog sleeps in a doghouse and the rabbit in a baby's crib is a bit jarring. The quality of the flap attachment is reasonably sturdy, although still unlikely to stand up to extensive library use.—Amy Lilien-Harper, The Ferguson Library, Stamford, CT
