My Look and See State Book series.
Illustrated by
Tom Mills.
Each spread features a hint ("I am a very large river...") and then asks "What am I? What could I be?" Open the half-page flap to see the rest of the illustration and discover the answer ("I am the Rio Grande, a major river in Texas"). The slick illustrations are unremarkable but friendly and, along with the format, will appeal to young children, though information is minimal. Review covers these My Look and See State Book titles: What Am I?: Florida and What Am I?: Texas.

Illustrated by
Elisa Chavarri.
With the words "FLY BLANKY FLY!" a boy and his blanket begin a nighttime adventure: "Zoom, zoom...like a jet flying through the sky. / ZOOM BLANKY ZOOM," etc. The text isn't as exuberant as the art; the book's modest pleasure lies in seeing the blanket physically transformed into a jet, a rocket, and so on. Finally, it's "Sleep blanky sleep."

These volumes introduce the title places to preschoolers. Each spread presents a child-friendly state landmark or symbol, then asks "What am I?" on a foldout flap that, when lifted, reveals the answer. Friendly digital-looking illustrations will help hold viewers' and listeners' interest in these superficial novelty books. Review covers these My Look and See State Book titles: What Am I?: Illinois and What Am I?: Michigan.
