School Library Journal Review: (The following is a combined review for The Girls in the Circle; A Day With Daddy; What Do You Know? Snow!; and I Can't Take a Bath!) K-Gr 2???These four easy readers, all of which feature African-American characters, are a bit uneven in quality. All begin with tips for adults on reading aloud and end with questions and activities that encourage youngsters to relate to the stories' themes. Daddy, in which a boy tells about his weekly visit with his father, is a sweet and gentle look at a difficult topic with watercolor illustrations that match the mood, while What Do You Know?, which relates a young girl's early-morning romp through fresh snow, is wordy with uninspired text and illustrations. Girls and Bath! are both fun stories with hit-and-miss rhyming styles and illustrations that bring the texts to life.???Catherine Callegari, San Antonio Public Library, TX --Catherine Callegari (Reviewed February 1, 2005) (School Library Journal, vol 51, issue 2, p88)
