Hurray for Pre-K!
PreSchool-A colorful photographic introduction to a day at preschool. Unfortunately, the brief sentences describing the daily activities (playing, singing, snacking, painting, reading, etc.) are often simplistic and awkward ("We eat snack./eat eat eat"). A verb is highlighted on each double spread: first printed at the top of the page and then emphasized in a contrasting color within the text. In addition to several large photos of the busy children, one cropped picture accompanied by the featured word appears repeatedly at the bottom of each right-hand page. The pictures lend themselves to discussion, such as one for the word "feel," which shows a teacher rushing to help an almost tearful boy. The endpapers are covered with children's paintings of flowers. Supplemental fare.Blair Christolon, Prince William Public Library System, Manassas, VACopyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc.
