NICKY AND GRANDPA
by Cathryn Falwell & illustrated by Cathryn Falwell
A charming book with bold, simple illustrations and a text that recalls a game of peekaboo (``Where's Grandpa? Here he is!''), with enough variety to introduce several familiar scenes and many objects and to showcase Nicky and Grandpa's warm interaction. The book's small size and sturdy pages should withstand multiple rereadings, even with very young page-turners. Simultaneously published, Nicky's Walk explores the three primary colors on an outing with Mom. Both are perfect for babies and toddlers. (Picture book. 0-4)
