Toddler-K–Kubler’s delightful illustrations return in this board book version of the classic song. A diverse group of toddlers play together while a single lyric to the song is displayed on each page. The charming illustrations feature children engaging in imaginative play with boxes and playing all together, with small boat icons found on each page. Notably, one child is depicted with a feeding tube, which is a rare and emphatically welcome inclusion in board books.

VERDICT This is a must-have for most libraries.
