COPY ISBN
PreS-K–Vintage 1950s-style illustrations will strike a nostalgic note for some adults, but what half the pictures have to do with country music will escape most. Airplane, apple pie, animal crackers? Hand, hammer, ice, jack-o’-lantern? Kangaroo, kite, ice, lightbulb, leaves? Vacuum cleaner?
VERDICT Treat this as a naming book, dispense with the “country music” designation, and enjoy the look of this nicely designed and completely inscrutable board book.
