Toddler-PreS—This lovely British import about Maudie and Bear centers on the sweet pair's afternoon adventure. The friends would like to go outside for some exercise, but first Maudie must find her sunglasses, their hats, her scarf, and the sunscreen and bug spray, as Bear patiently waits. Finally, they are ready. The kidlike logic and Ormerod's spare text in combination with Blackwood's painterly soft colors are a perfect match. A charming choice.—Shelley M. Diaz, School Library Journal
