(4) PS Illustrated by Ada Grey. "I love you when you're playing--blowing bubbles in the sun, / Climbing high and sliding down, having so much fun!" A mother describes how much she loves her son, from noisy and messy occasions to quiet times when they read or do puzzles. The whole is sentimental and predictable, but the lively illustrations add energy and humor to the rhyming text.

(4) PS Illustrated by Kat Whelan. "One little blueberry fell to the ground. / Two tiny red ants spied it from their mound." A parade of insects and arachnids pursue the berry. Their efforts are thwarted by a bird that "swooped down and ate it-- / Gulp! / --right before their eyes." The rhymes, though unremarkable, do scan. Illustrations featuring smiling bugs give little fingers something to count.

(4) 4-6 A series of double-page spreads discuss a variety of animals that either poison their prey or use fangs to kill it. One page of each spread is a vibrant close-up photo and the other presents bullet points and "Fast Facts" about size, color, food, and habitat. The book contains good photos but minimal information. Lenticular book covers add interest. Glos. Review covers these titles: Fangs! and Poison!
