Book Descriptions
for Out and About by Shirley Hughes
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
Eighteen original poems abundantly illustrated in full color represent young children playing in all types of weather during each of the seasons. Four double-page spreads suggest a panorama of seasonal neighborhood activities. As always, Hughes excels at portraying toddlers acting their ages and people from diverse ethnic backgrounds and generations. (Ages 3-8)
