Toddler-K–Featuring a diverse cast of characters, this board book will encourage the youngest athletes to be active and enjoy a variety of sports. Full-color photographs with young children trying sports from ping pong to swimming are featured on each page. Sometimes adult caregivers are shown, while in others, independent children are featured. The text is perfectly appropriate for the intended audience with the repeated phrase “Baby loves ____” on each spread highlighting a sport.
VERDICT Baby-pleasing photographs with active youngsters and adults will get even small children reaching for the sports equipment nearby and going out to play. For all board book collections.
