“Up? Up! The sun’s up. I’m up. Is Daddy up?” You can be sure Daddy won’t be sleeping for long in this joyful picture book about an energetic toddler who is go-go-go from the moment she opens her eyes. As she and her daddy play at home and in the park, she achieves height or flight in numerous ways: riding (on daddy’s shoulders), bouncing, swinging, climbing . . . whew! Kristine O’Connell George’s high-spirited, rhyming text is accompanied by Hiroe Nakata’s breezy watercolor illustrations. (Ages 1–3)

A trip to the park with Daddy is full of joyful opportunities to climb, to jump, to swing, to be lifted . . . Up! Once again, award-winning poet Kristine O'Connell George takes a playful look at the world through the eyes of a very young child. With a theme every parent and toddler will recognize, her brief stanzas, accompanied by Hiroe Nakata's bright watercolor paintings, perfectly capture the thrill and exuberance of being Up!
