From School Library Journal PreSchoolK A British import told in rhyme that just doesn't make it. In three separate episodes, a boy and girl make a sand castle and jump on it; clean their room and then play in it; and bake a cake and eat it. While the first activity fits the title, the other two are farfetched connections. The illustrationscharcoal pencil and paint in soft, muted colorsare large and uncluttered and will have certain appeal to preschoolers, but the awkward rhymes (puzzles/muddle, drawer/floor, bowl/all) are jarring and uninspired. This is an attractive book, but a poorly conceived one, and the tenuous link between the action and the book's title will neither prompt discussion nor inspire the imagination. Trev Jones, School Library JournalCopyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc. Product Description Demonstrates the fun in creating things such as sandcastles and cakes, then destroying them, then building them anew From Publishers Weekly Its curious title notwithstanding, in only one of the three scenarios included in this book is something made and then broken. In the first pages, a brother and sister are seen at the beach, building a sandcastle that they then raze, jumping on it delightedly. Next, the two are shown picking up a bedroom: "Now our room is clean. Let's play in it!" Finally, the siblings help their mother make a cake. When it is done, the children sit down at a table and eat it. That is the extent of the disappointingly meager story line, which is relayed in unevenly rhymed verse ("Pick up blocks, crayons, puzzles / All the toys are in a muddle!"). The book's saving grace is the cheerful art provided by McTaggart, who portrays the two toddler terrorists as roundfaced and gently animated. Ages 38. Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.
