Children's Literature

Humor is a necessity for toddler parents who will be reading the books their children will come to love over and over. Rarely do rhythm, rhyme, and humor come together as well as they do in the works of Sandra Boynton. Her four best-sellers come packed together in this volume, and each satisfies this age group's developmental needs. The Going to Bed Book calms the restless and will help them sleep; Horns to Toes and Opposites introduce concepts with playfulness and But Not the Hippopotamus is a silly first story about rejection. These titles have endured and succeeded with toddlers for almost two decades. 1998, Little Simon, Ages 2 to 5, $19.99. Reviewer: Susie Wilde
