(3) PS Illustrated by Kady MacDonald Denton. A boy tells his father what he would do if he were the father, and a girl tells her mother what she would do as mother. Lively illustrations, reminiscent of Sendak's early work, alternate between the real world, in which the parent is caring for the child, and the child's imaginings. Although not entirely original, the books neatly capture the things that matter to young children.
