Baby at Home - Hardcover

Monica Wellingtonwas born in London and lived in Switzerland and Germany as a child.She has written and illustrated many books for young children, including Mr. Cookie Baker and Apple Farmer Annie. She now lives in New York City, where she teaches at the School of Visual Arts.

PreS. Food, toys, and clothing are featured in two appealing board books. Each page displays a vividly colored painting of a simple object positioned jauntily on a bright, flat background. The circles, squares, stripes, and other geometric elements within the pictures will attract a baby's attention. The items depicted range from the familiar (rattle and keys in Home) to those outside the immediate experience of very young children (sunglasses and a kite in Shopping). Each item is labeled with bold, childlike letters that dance across the page. These cheery titles, while not strongly thematic, will be welcome at point-and-say sessions for youngsters up to 24 months.?Darla Remple, Worcester Public Library, MA
