Have a Look, Says Book (Atheneum, $17.99) to a young girl and her father. Thus begins their journey inside the pages of a book filled with everyday and not-so-everyday wonders. The book’s images— a fleecy flock, a crumbly cake—invite the girl to experience them with “a look, a listen, and a touch as such.” Kevin Hawkes’s vivid illustrations highlight the tactile qualities of the two-dimensional images, even stylizing particular adjectives to mirror their meanings. Readers can almost feel the smoothness of “silky” and the itchiness of “scratchy.” Richard Jackson’s simple yet inventive text is laden with creative descriptors that children will take joy in saying aloud. From its opening to its quiet close, Have a Look, Says Book honors the pleasure and magic of reading. Ages 3-6.
