Review
"Ljungkvistand#8217;s irresistible, eye-popping illustrationsand#8212;which sport a retro-style mix of funky, bright colors; flattened perspective; and minimally detailed shapesand#8212;are as fetching as they come. Chockfull, vocabulary-boosting double-page spreads show cute-as-can-be Pepi exploring the numerous objects found in a bakery, a music studio, an art studio, a market, and a dog park, with whimsical results. Ideal forone-on-one sharing with clear-cut connections to vocations, poetry, and the artistic process."--andlt;Iandgt;Booklistandlt;/Iandgt;
