Guess What I Have

Richard Powell, Ana Martin-Larranaga. Barron's Educational Series, $4.95 (32pp) ISBN 978-0-7641-1941-5

Young learners will appreciate the repetition, rhyme and cheerful illustrations in Ana Martin-Larranaga's Guess What I Have! and Guess Who's Hiding! In the first, each page repeats the title refrain, then provides a clue as to what each animal has peeking out behind them. An alligator asks, ""Guess what I have! (It rhymes with cat!)"" Readers turn the half-size page to reveal the smiling alligator in a hat. In the second, little animals hide behind their bigger brethren. (Oct.)
