Illustrated by
Tomie dePaola.
The poem "Steppin' Out" invites readers and listeners into this cheerful collection of rhyming poems ("Grab a hand and come with me. / Let's go see what we can see"). Topics are homey and familiar, including visiting relatives, going to the playground, and special Sunday breakfasts. DePaola's Crayola-bright acrylics feature a multiethnic cast of happy tots and nicely synch with Oliver's upbeat poetry.
