PreS—A preschooler cares for her doll just like a mother would a baby. The toy is pushed in a carriage, fed, and bathed. Her diaper is changed and she is put to bed in a lovely pink cradle. Then readers are introduced to the child's mother and new sibling. The big sister announces her intention to help her mommy as much as she can, because "Being a mommy is really hard work!" The digitally rendered illustrations are cheerful and spacious with small details and large images. Each scene features movable, tactile parts such as a doorway made of flaps, a pull tab that empties a bottle, and a fuzzy pink polka-dotted towel. A fun book for aspiring and new siblings.—Laura Hunter, Mount Laurel Library, NJ
