Tom and Pippo Go Shopping (Oxenbury, Helen. Pippo.)

From School Library Journal PreSchool-K-- Four more delightful glimpses of a preschooler's life. Tom himself tells these stories of days spent with his stuffed toy monkey, Pippo. On a shopping trip with his mother, Tom eats Pippo's snacks, but plans to feed him when they get home. In the garden, Pippo rides in Tom's wheelbarrow. When Tom asks his father about going to the moon, Pippo is, of course, included in the project. Tom, a handsome blond child, is bright, sweet, and personable. Black-and-white sketches on the narrative page contrast nicely with larger, full-color watercolors on the facing page. There is lots to observe, talk about, and enjoy for toddlers and adults, all noted with grace and simplicity. --Anna Biagioni Hart, Sherwood Regional Library, Alexandria, VACopyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc.
