(4) PS "Then you grew as high as the tomato plant, / your face was as bright as a sunflower, / your fingertips as sweet as raspberries." Some of the comparisons will resonate with toddlers, but others seem sentimentally adult. Nicely attuned to kids, though, are the alternating spreads with animal comparisons: "You were as waddly as a duck." The animal illustrations are also livelier than the sweet pictures of a cherubic child.
