Review

Baby Goes to Market is proof that being cute pays off. On their morning trip to the market Baby is given food by the many merchants while Mom is busy shopping. The storyline is well crafted to be comprehensible to pre-school children with gentle rhyme and humor. Pre-K and K students will notice that this is a math concept book as they enjoy sounding out the words printed in large font.

Not only is the text perfect for the audience, the illustrations are a sure winner. Brooksbank's mix media presentation is beyond fetching and sweet. She has captured the market in all its splendor and offers readers a baby with style. Add to public libraries everywhere and place in primary school media centers.

Overall Book Score: very good
