More More More by VeraB. Williams is alive with color. Multicolored text and a decorative border brightens every page . There is no story. This book is a collection of three scenarios in which adults chase down toddlers. Two are active children and one is sleepily rolling off a couch. The emphasis is on safe, physical play with caring adults. Is it OK for me to wonder why the little brown child appears to have a white grandma? The text is repetitive but not rhyme. Maybe I’m too far away from those years of parenting a toddler to enjoy this book. Maybe I’m unfamiliar with the kind of play pictured. It feels too aggressive for me. Nevertheless, it is visually beautiful.
