I See ... My Mom / I See ... My Dad
Pierre Pratt
Board book
(Annick Press, March 3, 2001)
The I See... Books by Pierre Pratt are "back-to-back" board books that convey humor through simple lines and bright, bold colors. Read one half and then flip it over for a whole new book. I See... My Mom/I See... My Dad presents Mom, and on the reverse side, Dad. Each book explores a member of the family -- literally. Whether it is the Mom's hair, ears and toes, or Dad's finger, eye or foot, the I See... Books present the body parts that a toddler sees every day. The books are narrated by a little boy, who appears on the final page of each story with the complete illustration of the family member he has been looking at. The text is clear and simple, stating the name of each body bit as it appears in vivid, fun illustrations. I See... Books are perfect for toddlers who are just learning to recognize and name the parts of the body. The I See . . . approach provides an excellent opening for interaction between the adult reader and a younger audience, encouraging further discussion and "I spy" games. If you can see Mom's tongue, where are her teeth? Also available: I See... My Sister/I See... My Cat.
