(3) PS Thingy Things series. Playful and deceptively simple in both art and text, each small square book (two of which were previously published) speaks in the voice of a loving adult--"Crabby Crab, we love you just the way you are"--while the title animal is all that is shown on each brightly colored page. Sweet and appealing but never cloying, these books are best shared one-on-one. Review covers these Thingy Things titles: Cowy Cow, Crabby Crab, Lamby Lamb, and Whaley Whale.
