Life can be frustrating for toddlers sometimes. There's so much they can't quite do yet. But wait--aren't there a whole lot of things they can do? Good for You! is a bouncy, cheerful celebration of counting, drinking from a cup, getting dressed, using the potty, saying "please" and "thank you," eating in a restaurant, and lots more. Poems titled "Peekaboo! I See Blue!, " "Oops! Excuse Me!," "I'm a Very Noisy Person!," "I'm a Very Quiet Person!," "Riding in My Stroller," and "Hello, Soap!" are guaranteed to touch many chords with preschool-aged readers. Stephanie Calmenson, author of many children's books, including The Principal's New Clothes, clearly feels a strong connection to children, and understands their sense of humor, anxieties, thrills, and immense curiosity. Luscious sherbet-toned watercolors by Melissa Sweet, illustrator of Dirty Laundry Pile: Poems in Different Voices (edited by Paul B. Janeczko) and many others, will bring a smile to every reader's face. (Ages 3 to 6) --Emilie Coulter
