(4) PS Illustrated by Bridget Strevens-Marzo. Sturges asks, "How do you make a baby smile...laugh...coo...grin?" The answers are delivered in pleasant-enough rhymes that introduce animal babies and their parents into the proceedings ("Grin like Papa Crocodile," "Twist your neck like Papa Giraffe," etc.). The illustrations, featuring black-outlined drawings on bold monochromatic backgrounds, are appropriately playful, but the text doesn't stand above other human-babies-juxtaposed-with-baby-animals books.
