Industry Reviews PreS Toddlers love to look at pictures of babies, and the excellent, full-color photographs of adorable, multiethnic group of infants and toddlers are the saving grace of this book that is overloaded with concepts. Body parts and their functions; faces reflecting emotions; things to be counted, identified, noticed; sounds; actions; foods; and objects to be paired present a lot of information. The connection of all of these things to the human body is sometimes tenuous, but always present. The items and situations are readily recognizable, and young children will have fun pointing them out. The format is busy, sometimes cluttered, but the pictures are so clear, bright, and lively that they are absorbing and appealing. The text is generally simple, consisting mostly of captions and questions. However, the occasional flowery adjectives seem inappropriate for the intended audience.
