Title: 4 1/2* Copycat Play---to a Point!
Review: This is a friendly and simple board book with a few delightful surprises. First, the young reader (or audience) may not initially realize that main characters "Jane" and "Teddy" are the dolls of the titular "Lily" and "Willy." Second, after several gentle scenes where Willy's Teddy copies whatever Lily does with "Jane" ("Jane wants to climb a tree. Teddy too."), Teddy surprises us by not copying the nap that Lily gives Jane: ("Jane wants to take a nap. Bear NO!")It's a nice indirect take on the difficulties of naptime and the individuality of toddlers. The soft colors and simply told story will be popular with very young toddlers, With only 12 thick pages and 22 different words, this board book may also appeal to the very early reader.
