(3) PS Photographs by Eric Futran. Clear color photographs of a diverse group of young children illustrate this simple rhyme. Each attractive close-up picture demonstrates the meaning of an individual word or phrase; listeners may well want to join in. "Show me happy, / show me helping, / show me up, / show me down. / Show me holding, / show me giving, / show me hiding, / show me found."

(3) PS Photographs by Eric Futran. "A cheer means I did it! Hurray! I am proud! / A shush means be quiet... / that's a little too loud!" Preschoolers will be riveted by the photos of their peers using expressions and gestures to amplify the rhyming text. Plenty of kids' books feature close-up photos of children; few sustain their concept--here wordless communication--this well.

(3) K-3 Photographs by Eric Futran. In a chatty narrative, this coping manual for older siblings is equal parts humorous ("Grownups talk funny around babies. So get used to it"), helpful (there's advice on how to escape diaper duty), and tender. The layout works well: text sits on colored boxes surrounded by large and small close-up photos of babies, their paraphernalia, and their families.

(4) K-3 Photographs by Eric Futran. Warm, engaging color photographs lend weight and specificity to general statements about people doing good works, e.g., "Somewhere today...someone is visiting a friend who is old." Although the final scene, in which a child sits reading a copy of "Somewhere Today," is rather self-congratulatory, the book generally gets its message across in an unforcibly multicultural fashion.
