Baby in a Car - Hardcover

Monica Wellingtonwas born in London and lived in Switzerland and Germany as a child.She has written and illustrated many books for young children, including Mr. Cookie Baker and Apple Farmer Annie. She now lives in New York City, where she teaches at the School of Visual Arts.

A touring toddler spies familiar objects in these vivid board books by the creator of All My Little Ducklings. Both books open with the query, "What does baby see?" and proceed to depict, one per page, such varied subjects as a butterfly, an airplane, pair of roller skates, traffic light, balloons, fire engine, etc. Wellington's illustrations pack a punch: several consist of swaths of solid, vibrant hues, while others-a tree's leaves, a butterfly's wings-are composed of textured collages that seem to pay homage to the work of Eric Carle. Freeform, almost childlike lettering reinforces the books' lighthearted tone. Ages 1-3.
