Tom and Pippo

What a rite of passage! Both Ivy and Atticus have loved Helen Oxenbury's Tom and Pippo series. Tom and Pippo are the best of friends - a toddler boy and his beloved stuffed monkey. The words are so simple, the thoughts a toddler might really have. Atticus likes to think he is Tom and Pippo is his stuffed dog, Coco. Each spread consists of a black and white drawing and a colored drawing, a lovely juxtaposition. I cannot believe these books are not still in print!
