PreS-There are plenty of books on the growth process of living things, but this one will be particularly attractive to the very young. A small boy explores: "Here in the meadow, by the woods and the pond, everything is growing, just like me." Keller's brightly colored, cheerful illustrations show varied plants and animals changing-white blossoms transform into blackberries, a caterpillar turns into a tiger-colored butterfly, black polliwogs become green frogs, and a little acorn develops into a large oak tree. The rhythmical, spare text uses only a few well-chosen descriptive words for each example and the book ends on a satisfying note when the child addresses his infant sibling: "Little baby brother, what in the world will you grow up to be? You'll see! One day you'll be a big boy-just like me." This lovely concept book underlines the continuity of all living things, and is an excellent choice to share with preschoolers in the spring.-Judith Constantinides, formerly at East Baton Rouge Parish Main Library, LA, With appealing simplicity, Rockwell (Our Earth) spotlights changes in nature, as a barefoot boy observes the world around him, noting, "Everything is growing, just like me." The lyrical narrative presents examples of natural evolution: "Blue eggs, safe and warm in their nest... will hatch into robins that sing in the grass" and "A speckled cloud with a fish standing guard... will soon be lots of shining silver fish, swimming round and round the pond." Keller's (A Bed Full of Cats) unadorned, boldly colored watercolor and pen-and-ink pictures bring these changes into crisp focus, alternating full-bleed scenarios with close-up shots that zoom in on a caterpillar, pollywogs and an acorn lying on fallen leaves. After viewing the acorn, readers flip the page--and turn the book from a horizontal to a vertical position--to see the boy swinging from the branches of a sprawling oak tree, as he entreats the acorn to "Sprout and spread roots! Stretch your green leaves up to the sky! Grow into a tall oak tree." The volume ends by bringing home an example close to readers: as the narrator addresses his cherubic baby brother, asking him what "will you grow up to be?" and responding, "One day you'll be a big boy--just like me." An amiable introduction to natural growth. Ages 2-5.
