When his parents take him on a picnic, Toby pretends to be various animals. His parents play along, even turning the tables on their son when they get home. Steig's Toby books--including Toby, Where Are You? and Toby, What Are You?--are perfect showcases for his mischievously matter-of-fact narration, which is complemented by Euvremer's gauzy images in summertime hues.

Toby, the small animal from Toby, Where Are You?, keeps his parents guessing when he pretends to be a variety of things from a clothes tree to "a dangerous wild animal." The soft chalk illustrations reflect the relationship between Toby and his parents, who willingly go along with Toby's antics. This comforting story is perfect for bedtime sharing.
