(4) PS Illustrated by Jane Massey. A pigtailed, rosy-cheeked narrator expresses her devotion to a beloved doll in this picture book. The repeated comforts expressed in singsongy rhyme ("What if you're scared to slide and climb? / I'll catch you, baby. Every time") seem more like an adult's reassurances than a child's sentiments. Nevertheless, the appealing candy-colored illustrations of the pair's tender interactions capture the pleasures of independent, imaginative play.
