New Releases by Lynn Reiser

A NATURAL FOLLOW-UP to parent-baby bonding seen in You and Me, Baby!, Lynn Reiser and Penny Gentieu’s new concept book focuses on sibling bonding of the two-to-four year old with the new baby in the family. Told in the voice of the “big” brother or sister, close-up photos show the two siblings together doing what each does best, such as drinking from bottle versus from a cup, or giving a toothless gummy smile versus a big toothy grin. It’s a nice mix of diverse children of both genders. Here is an upbeat book that helps preschool siblings feel special and important as it promotes a loving relationship.

A kitten, being picked up from preschool by his parent, asks, “What will we play today? Let’s play a ballgame!” This book with sturdy cardstock pages and clever die-cuts is made for active youngsters who long to play grown-up games. Though they are too young to actually play baseball, soccer, basketball or football, they are never too young to pretend. The child is asked to guess each game, using the type of ball and the playing field as clues. Then, as the page turns, a die-cut ball appears to move from one page to the next. The little kitten is shown as a member of a winning team with every piece of that game’s uniform and equipment pictured. This adorable book ends on the realistic note of playing catch.
