Anyone who's spent time with a toddler knows that few crises compare with the (even temporary) loss of a favorite blankie. Here, in her humorous, bold graphic style, Leslie Patricelli plays up this scenario, surely near and dear to every toddler's heart. BLANKIE is an affectionate ode to that special object that comforts many a child through the dramas of each day.

"This is Blankie. Blankie comes everywhere with me." A diapered tot narrates this ode to his blanket, explaining how, during the course of a day, his faithful companion multitasks. It watches TV with him, joins him in time-out, doubles as a superhero cape, and comforts him at night. As warm and reassuring as a blankie itself, the board book honors toddlers' emotions with childlike, crayon-bright illustrations and empathetic words. (ages Birth to 2)
