Baby-Toddler–“Swish Swoosh, Slosh Sploosh.” Anyone who lives with a toddler knows that everyday doings are noisy affairs. In this playful story told through rhyming sound effects, little ones follow a curly-haired, dark-skinned child who splashes at the beach, paints, feeds pets, gets ice cream, bathes, and jumps on the bed.

VERDICT Clear illustrations in pastel colors will be accessible to the youngest lapsitters.
