(3) PS This board-book version of the 2021 picture book (rev. 5/21) is a lively ode to toddler play, Cree language, and the animal world. Expressive verse ­describing animal actions is paired with playful images in muted earth tones. On a few spreads, children hop like rabbits, swim like belugas, and snooze like wolves. Cree and English words accompany the art, and a list of Cree animal names is appended. For more board-book adaptations of previously published picture books, look for the clever A Bear, a Bee, and a Honey Tree (Hippo Park/Astra) by Daniel Bernstrom, illustrated by Brandon James Scott, and the cozy Love Always Everywhere (Nosy Crow), illustrated by Sarah Massini.
