COPY ISBN
Baby/Toddler—In short rhyming sentences, this book features two siblings who eat their way through several bowls of blueberries, earning "blueberry fingers, blueberry nose./Blueberry lips, blueberry toes." When the bowl is empty, the typeface increases with the demand for "MORE BLUEBERRIES!" The lack of a "please" will be overlooked, as the sheer joyfulness of the text and the vibrant acrylic paintings (appropriately smeared with bright blue) is infectious. Pair with Vera B. Williams's More, More, More Said the Baby (HarperCollins, 1990) while teaching babies and their caregivers the American Sign Language word for "more."
