Industry reviews
Fans of I Went Walking will welcome the offspring of that cast in this playful companion. Here Williams and Vivas present a cumulative counting tale bursting with frisky baby animals. A wild-haired child (could be a boy or girl) issues an invitation to a friendly golden retriever: "Let's go visiting. What do you say?/ One brown foal is ready to play." All three then start a small parade as they move on to visit two red calves, three black kittens and so on, until they find "six yellow puppies... ready to play." Eventually, the weary menagerie curls up in the hay for a communal nap. Toddlers will chime in with Williams's simple, repetitive narrative, and Vivas's unadorned, large-scale watercolor art offers a bright visual subtext: after a quartet of playful pink piglets coats themselves and the youngster with mud, a visit to the habitat of five green ducklings (one of whom perches atop a pig's head) gives the grimy group a chance to wash off. And kids will be delighted to note that the irresistible pups who complete this counting tale belong to the child's canine companion. A charming antidote to quell preschoolers' restlessness before naptime. Ages 1-3. (Oct.)
Leuchtenburg 

PreS-Gr 1-The familiar, frolicking, redheaded kid from Williams and Vivas's I Went Walking (Gulliver, 1990) is back along with his farmyard pals. The text reads, "Let's go visiting./What do you say?" as the child and his dog meet "One brown foal...ready to play." The same refrain is repeated as two red calves, three black kittens, and so on, enthusiastically join the crowd. Finally, the boy and his friends "curl up and sleep in the hay." The same rhyming, repetitive text pattern; open-page design; and appealing illustrative style that made the first title perfect for preschool storytime are featured once again. Unfortunately, the foreshadowing that made that book such fun to read aloud is missing. Without its visual clues that add an extra element, children will not be able to guess what group of animals will next appear. The count ends abruptly with six yellow puppies. Despite these quibbles, however, it's likely that this book will be popular with young readers and listeners. The illustrations, simultaneously soft and bright, are alive with creatures barking, running, meowing, and wallowing. The simple text with its repeated refrain will have audiences chanting along in no time. Librarians who must choose between Walking and Visiting may want to stick with the original adventure. Most youngsters will enjoy both.-Lisa Dennis, The Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, PA
