Product Description

"What's-in-it" fun for the very young.

Celebrated children's writer Kathy Stinson explores "what's-in-what" concepts for young children. With a chorus of questions that encourage interaction, children will delight in playing with the language of spatial relationships, from a pocket holding a treasure to a spoon with a face reflected in it.

For one young girl, a day on the farm is full of familiar sights that lead to the unexpected. The barn has a horse in it... just like a house can have a "me" in it. A sock can't have a head in it, but it can have a toe in it. A pond can even have a splash in it. Best of all, when Mommy comes home, she has a blanket that has a wiggle in it -- a brand new baby.

Joining charming pictures and a satisfying story with language-learning ideas, A Pocket Can Have a Treasure in It will hold the attention of parents and children alike.

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-K—Some things can be inside other things. This book opens, "A barn can have…a horse in it. And a house can have a 'me' in it." And on it goes, as a yellow-haired child in a lavender smock romps through her day. "A car can have a grandma in it." When Grandma arrives, she continues the game, and every now and then a silly combination comes up. "Can a tree have a cow in it?" Meanwhile, Dad drives away. And the game continues. He returns with Mom and a "wiggle" in a blanket—the family has a new baby. And still the wordplay goes on until bedtime when there's a story with a barn in it and inside the barn there is, once again, a horse. The exuberant pastel illustrations, with a mix of indoor and outdoor scenes and plenty of white space, are outlined in thin black lines. This is a charming concept book that also serves as a story for young children experiencing a new sibling.—Ieva Bates, Ann Arbor District Library, MI
