COPY ISBN
PreS-K–Affirming and loving with adorable illustrations, this board book gives the very earliest of listeners a first lesson in wordplay, giggles, and the joy of language used imaginatively. “You’re the butter on my toast” features a caring piece of toast looking at her precious dab of butter. Spreads capture the myriad of ways an adult figure can love a child.
VERDICT Tender and affectionate, with enjoyable illustrations and lovely figurative language, this book will bond caregivers to children and make story hours a riot.
