Delightful and Full of Meaning anonymous "The Littlest Pair" - from the Jerusalem Post by Leslie CohenWritten in rhymed couplets, The Littlest Pair will delight the ears of young children, while its friendly-looking animal characters will appeal to their eyes. Although meant for pre-school children, it delivers a sophisticated messageagainst stereotyping, and acting with prejudice towards "the other." Rouss creates an all-too-human situation in which the animals ref. A Customer said I go to Kindergarden & my favorite book is The Littlest Pair. My name is Elizabeth, and I go to Kindergarden.

Rouss's storytelling talents are insufficient to overcome a flagrantly didactic message that distorts the meaning of the biblical account of Noah and a premise that assumes that preschoolers will know why termites would be unwelcome on a wooden vessel. This one misses the boat.Linda R. The boldly colored, full-spr
