Little Lamb
Illus. by L. Rigo. Barron's, $7.99 (10p) ISBN 978-0-7641-6427-9
Part of the Look at Me series, this tall-format board book is die-cut in the shape of a lamb. Inside, realistically rendered lambs mostly remain close to their mother ewes, but sometimes explore the peaceful farm: "They get to meet all the little animals and birds." The informational text often draws comparisons between young sheep and human children ("Just like little children, the little lambs like to play"), and a tender depiction of the lambs lovingly curled with their mothers ("It's time to sleep. Zzzz") could help make this simple story a lead-in to nap time. Ages 1%E2%80%934. (Apr.)
