Go-Go Baby! -written by Roxane Orgill & illustrated by Steven Salerno, published by Marshall Cavendish Children's Books, 2004.
This energetic, curious baby is constantly on the move... via stroller, bus, train, ship -and seemingly never, ever gets sleepy! Much to the exhaustion and frazzled nerves of big sis and mom!
"It is great fun to read aloud. Sinuous black lines- energetic, expressive, sophisticated- delineate Baby, her fellow travelers, and the big city folk they move among. Everybody knows a bundle of energy like Go-Go Baby" -Childrens Literature
“Go-Go Baby won't sleep until she's seen everything in the city that moves...deft text... stylish retro spreads... A winner” -Publishers Weekly
”This will rev up the wheels at a toddler storytime or serve as a great sibling read-a-loud” -The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
-A Jury Selection Society of Illustrators, Original Art Show 2004
