(3) PS Super Sturdy Picture Book series. Illustrated by Nadine Bernard Westcott. "Beets. Meats. Ham. / Peanut butter. Jam." This brief, rhyming romp through the market captures the chaos a toddler in a shopping cart can create. Westcott's humorous illustrations show the mayhem that follows mother and child down the aisles. The book, printed on sturdy card stock, is sure to please little ones who spend much time in this supermarket hot seat.

(4) PS Harper Growing Tree series. A slight but rhythmic text captures the fun of a classic toddler chasing-and-hiding game. Big, whimsical illustrations on sturdy pages add to the appeal. The ending--in which the young child is finally caught (in a big hug by mom) is nice in concept but weak in execution, with the shift in scene feeling slightly illogical.
