PreS. Food is at the forefront of these board books featuring two of Henkes' signature characters, the worried Wemberly and "baby of the world" Julius. Julius has been told not to eat the 10 cupcakes for the Halloween party. Instead, he starts counting the candy corn on the top of each treat--counting by popping each morsel of corn in his mouth. Wemberly, on the other hand, is so worried that her ice cream bar will drip on her dress (or that there won't be enough for Petal, her stuffie) that she and Petal finally wind up eating ice-cream soup. The text is very short; the drama is in the art, one image to each candy-colored page. The youngest of Henkes' fans might not understand all the nuances (yes, nuances) of these vignettes. But kids who love the characters will welcome a new glimpse of them, and Julius' story could be used with a small group of toddlers for a Halloween story hour. Ilene Cooper
