"When it's only my aba and me..." Parents and children from various cultures pursue seasonally appropriate activities together. Each right-hand page unfolds twice to display a panoramic scene. The illustrations, printed on sturdy stock, are colorful but stripped of much detail, which vitiates the books' multiculturalism. The original pictures featured animals instead of human characters. Review covers these titles: My Dad and Me and My Mom and Me.
