Tessa Takes Wing

(2) PS Illustrated by Julie Downing. This cheerful adventure reveals the nightlife of buoyant baby Tessa, who grows a pair of small but efficient wings and levitates out of her crib. She spins and tumbles around her room; come dawn, she's back in bed, fooling the grownups and saying her favorite word: "Up." The watercolor illustrations in baby-friendly colors are an energetic celebration of curves--fat dimpled knees, button nose, and pudgy fingers.
