PLAY NICE, CALICO!
by Karma Wilson & illustrated by Buket Erdogan
Wilson’s playful kitten struggles with sharing and boasting in this well-meaning but ultimately unsuccessful tale that will please grown-ups more than it teaches toddlers. Heavy reliance on dialogue lifts the situations depicted beyond the comprehension of the toddlers it’s aimed at, despite the bright and child-friendly illustrations. One of the burgeoning Calico series.
