PreS—These board books share simple pictures of animal parents and their babies. Each page displays a different pair and provides the proper name of the animal's young, e.g., "the owl daddy and his baby owlet." Useful for language enrichment, both books have cheerful black-and-white pictures of the animals done in cut-paper collage. Van Genechten adds clever shade variations and creative textures that enhance each image.—Diane Antezzo, Ridgefield Library, CT
