(3) PS Thingy Things series. Playful and deceptively simple in both art and text, each small square book (two of which were previously published) features the title character ("Moosey Moose is mad"; "Buggy Bug has something to say"; etc.). Raschka's deftly minimal paintings show only the animal 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: Buggy Bug, Clammy Clam, Doggy Dog, and Moosey Moose.

(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.

(4) PS Thingy Things series. Four small square books each present the title character and a simple plot ("Whaley Whale is hiding," "Sluggy Slug won't go," etc.) with just a few simple words and Raschka's deftly minimal paintings. While the publisher claims these are for beginning readers, there's not much to interest a five- or six-year-old, but the developmental level seems right for two-year-olds.

Playful and deceptively simple in both art and text, each book assumes the presence of a loving adult ("I love you, Snaily Snail"), while the title animal is all that is shown on each brightly colored page.
