PreS-K—Playful cats explore a common social dynamic of childhood. Bella wants to do everything that Anna does—hula hooping, playing ballerina, and even being a pirate. When Anna decides to play princess, of course Bella wants to follow suit—but there is only one crown. Anna is not nice and does not want to share with Bella and tells her to stop copying. With sad eyes and droopy ears, Bella walks off to be by herself. She decides to jump rope, at first struggling but, after much practice, jumping so fast she doesn't notice that Chloe is watching. The two felines practice jumping rope together. Meanwhile, Anna realizes it is no fun to play by herself and goes to find Bella. In the end, all three spirited cats wind up playing ballerina-pirate-princess together. The simple text and bright, expressive digital artwork keep the tone light and the message positive.
VERDICT This is a fine addition for young listeners learning to navigate playground politics and forge friendships. Best shared one-on-one with an adult.
