PreS-K—This is a straightforward abcedary with an autumn theme. Gorgeous color photographs are accompanied by a single sentence for each letter. The descriptions for the items are so brief that they don't always provide sufficient context, and many of the choices are related to autumn only by the setting of the photos. "I is for Ice Cream, which is delicious in any season" is something of a stretch, even if the kids are wearing warm garments and standing in front of fall trees. Additional odd choices include "N" for "Neighborhood." A pretty book, but not a necessary one.—Heidi Estrin, Feldman Children's Library at Congregation B'nai Israel, Boca Raton, FL
Large vivid photos of nature and people are featured in this colorful alphabetical autumnal walk-through. One to two sentences describe each key word in a bright, color-coordinated bar to the left of each photo or series of photos. While several key words are not particularly associated with fall, the photos for these words bring fall into the picture.
