(2) K-3 Illustrated by Michael Emberley. Harris and Emberley follow Hello Benny! What It's Like to Be a Baby with this lively look at one-year-old behavior and development. Toddler Maria goes about her business while supplemental boxed information, appearing in tandem with the story, demonstrates how her actions are typical for her age group. The lighthearted cartoons document what exasperating and exhausting but lovable creatures one-year-olds can be.
