Summary: Adventure Abounds When Baby Controls the Remote!
Review: Ever wonder what goes through the mind of a small child when they find a remote control and start pressing the buttons? Author/illustrator DeWan presents one possible answer in this fun-filled adventure presented from the viewpoint of an angelic red haired baby girl with curls. When she finds a remote control, a great little fantasy begins that is filled with ordinary objects becoming "magical" when she hits them with the "zapper." Colorful, cheerful, and amusing illustrations bring the story to life - from the initial "zap" of the TV, to the "zap" that brings the baby's toys to life, to the "zap" that enlarges a toy airplane into so that the baby can travel turn the moon to "zap" it into a giant chocolate chip cookie. The fantasy wraps up nicely with baby falling from her plane into the waiting arms of Mom, who eventually uses the "zapper" herself to put baby to bed. This unique story is sure to delight the youngest audience as well as those who read it to them. Recommended for ages 1 to 3

Summary: My Daughter Loves This Book
Review: My 2 1/2 yr old loves this book. We had checked it out at the library and when I returned it she was still asking me for it so I had to buy it. She now takes the remote for the television and pretends she is zapping me. She will tell me what she has zapped me into which will be things like a dog or cat. She never gets tired of reading this book and every time I read it it's as if it is the first time I am reading it to her. I highly reccomend this book for anyone with a toddler that loves to read.
