Overview

"What goes together perfectly? A child and this bubbly, spirited picture book about all kinds of things that belong with each other! It's filled with rhythm and rhyme that begs to be read aloud, and illustrated with sunshine-bright, joyful art. ""We go together like ice cream and cone"" shows kids gazing in delight at huge scoops of multicoloured ice cream, while a puppy smiles happily at his piled-high bowl in ""We go together like dog and bone."" For ""fire and dragon,"" the appealing green creature toasts marshmallows with his own breath, and adorable cows fiddle, dance, and leap in ""cow and moo."" Of course, the satisfying ending has the best pair-up of all: mother and child in a big hug with an ""I love you"" and two hearts intertwined."

Logical pairs express the concept of togetherness in a brightly illustrated series of scenes drawn in colorful mixed-media cartoon-style stock figures. The 22 pairs are introduced in a repetitive, rhyming, dull, often uneven text coupling obvious and less apparent twosomes. We go together like socks and shoes. / We go together like cow and moo. / We go together like stripes and skunk. / We go together like elephant and trunk. This togetherness finally culminates in a declaration of mother and child unity bound by their mutual love. While early-literacy folks may appreciate the hokey, constantly patterned format, classic authors like Bill Martin and Mem Fox offer finer selections for young listeners and pre-readers.
