PS
Young Ivy, who "loves to give," offers a pink tutu to a friendly goat, glasses to a dog, a pacifier to a cat, etc.; meanwhile, her family members search for those same items. Blackwood is tuned into a preschooler's sensibilities; the story is funny and touching without a hint of condescension. Softly colored illustrations are set against spacious cream-colored pages.
