Someone Bigger Age 2-5. Hardback. Sam can't wait to try out his new kite, but Dad says he's too small to fly it alone-it needs someone bigger. When Dad launches the kite, a strong wind pulls it into the sky. But the wind is so strong that it pulls Dad up, too! Only one person can rescue this runaway kite, and Sam knows just who that someone is. Will You Carry Me? Age 2-5. When it is time to return home from the park, tired toddler Thomas asks Mom to carry him. She suggests that they jump home instead of walking. "She hitches up her pants and bends her knees," and the two hop off. When the tot tires of this and asks again to be carried, Mom convinces him to pretend to swim, fly, and finally run and chase, laughing all the way home...The succinct and bright text is perfectly matched by the light, sparkling art and expressive faces on the...mom and sweet child. Parents (who may pick up tips for the next time they are in this situation) and toddlers will enjoy this refreshing romp. Marge Loch-Wouters, Menasha's Public Library, WI All by Myself by Aliki Age 2-5. This jubilant story shows and tells about a child doing all sorts of things independently.

The back cover features a chart labeled, "What can you do all by yourself?" with verbs such as wash, brush, button, zip, tie, pour, build, and write. --S.
