Using the colorful picture tabs, little children can choose the story they want to hear: Bob, Merry Christmas Party, The Star, A Big Box, Eight Wishes, Wake Up!, and Christmas Lullaby.
Every perfectly silly selection is just right for snuggling by, all December long. And highly approved by Bob.
PreS-K- Boynton's cartoon characters-reindeer, pigs, ducks, cows, and hippos-are big-eyed, round-tummied, and energetic. Each of these seven brief "stories" occurs in its entirety on a double-page spread and is told in rhyme; the final selection is a lullaby, complete with music. Bright artwork, appealingly goofy text, and subjects of intrinsic interest (finding a box big enough to wrap a hippo in, a reindeer tinier than a teacup) add up to a winning, fun-filled formula. -S.P.

'Tis the season to be silly, particularly when Boynton's at the helm. A tiny reindeer named Bob kicks off this set of seven merry poems (and, in fact, sneaks into the other six). The verse is cheery ("The turkey is loud. The donkey is, too./ The rooster joins in, so why shouldn't you?"), the presentation crisp, and the board book packs an added bonus: as in Snoozers, a tabbed index allows little fingers to select a favorite tale in a trice. But it's Boynton's signature cartoons, in her expert balance of tender and goofy, that will draw the crowds. All ages. (Oct.)
