Book Description
for Wrapping Paper Romp by Patricia Hubbell and Jennifer Plecas
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
As she does in Pots and Pans (see entry in Picture Books for Younger Children), Patricia Hubbell once again offers a pleasing rhymed text based on true-to-life baby behavior. Here a baby and a feline companion have more fun with the wrapping paper and box a present comes in than they do with the three teddy bears enclosed as the gift. Each step of the unwrapping process inspires a baby game-- waving the paper, wearing the paper as a hat, playing peek-a-boo, and, of course, tearing the paper, playful illustrated in a style reminiscent of Helen Oxenbury. (Ages 1-2)
