KIKI’S BLANKIE by Janie Bynum With her adored polka-dot blankie in hand, Kiki can do and be anything she wants. In a flash, it transforms her into a cowgirl, a pirate, even a superhero with a cape! So when the blankie blows away, Kiki will do anything to get it back…even face a very scary crocodile. Janie Bynum’s irresistible heroine proves that love makes us brave and strong—even when we don’t have our special blanket to protect us! Praised by Jane Yolen as “wonderfully childlike.” |

From Booklist: PreS –“Kiki, a little monkey with an expressive face, loves her blankie. Polka-dotted and sassy, it is her best friend-her napkin when she's messy, wings when she wants to fly, and more. It goes with her everywhere until the day it blows away, and she must find a way to rescue it from the jaws of a crocodile-a known nemesis of monkeys everywhere. Brightly colored, uncluttered illustrations are set on large areas of white space, making the objects and action easy for young children to find and follow. Preschoolers will relate to Kiki, her blankie attachment, and to her energy and creative play. Her story will help them learn problem-solving strategies and how to be brave in scary situations.”
