(Global Fund for Children, Charlesbridge $6.95 Score:
) Photographs of babies from all over the world fill this beautiful little book. Wearing their colorful native dress these adorable infants with their big eyes look out from the pages of the book reminding us all of the universal need for caring about these innocents with whom we share the planet. This is done in a board book format to make a sturdy book for little ones to handle. But, in fact, this is a book for everyone…in our multicultural world. Give it as a Valentine to support community base organizations that serve vulnerable children through the Global Fund for Children. All ages.

2009 Award
(by Lucy Cousins, Candlewick $5.99 Score:
) Maisy and her pal Cyril are driving a fire engine. Along the way they frighten a small black cat who needs to be rescued. No fires in this little adventure that has a beginning middle and happy ending…and is just right for lap sitters. Toddlers are often fascinated by the noisy big fire engine that comes down the street. One of a series of shape books that gives tots a view of the behind the scenes world inside the firehouse and on the big truck.

2009 Awards
(by Sara Gillingham and Lorena Siminovich, Chronicle $8.99 Score:
) A charming board book with an attached felt finger puppet bird that sits above the die-cut cardboard pages. With each turn of a page we see a new layer of the nest until we reach the end where the little bird is cozy with its family. A companion book, In My Pond ($8.99 4.5) uses the same concept with a felt fish, a pond and a happy family. Adorable little books for lap sitters.

2009 Award
(by Karen Katz, Schwartz & Wade/Random House $14.99 Score:
) It’s bedtime but “Princess Baby” has a lot of important ways to delay the inevitable. A cute little story that reluctant bedtime goers will relate to. We could have done without the scene when she takes a tub without any adult in view. That said, this is another winner from Karen Katz! 2 & up.

2002 Award
(by Todd Parr, Little Brown $4.95 Score:
) Most of the vehicles (except for the fire engine) are easy to recognize and name, which is the whole purpose of this kind of book. If the images are too hard to recognize then the knowing and naming possibilities are lost. Bright and colorful, this one makes more sense than the zany faces in the companion, Funny Faces book.
Age: Infants,Toddlers. Award Year: 2002.
