PS
Playing horsey with Daddy, Higher! Higher!'s heroine directs him to go "Faster! Faster!" Turn the page; the girl rides a dog. Pooped pup is replaced by rabbit, who's traded for ostrich, then horse, then cheetah, then hawk (all, tellingly, wearing Dad's purple polka-dotted tie). The book's playful design, featuring rich, cartoonlike acrylics, speaks directly to young children.
