PreS—A fun read-aloud for babies and toddlers. Many new concepts and actions appear in the simple rhyming text, as readers are asked to "find Spot" on every spread. For example, "Spot crows [a rooster]./Spot wakes [an alarm clock]./Spot fries [an egg]/Spot bakes [a blueberry muffin]." Bright, painterly pictures appear throughout, and many, but not all, of the spots have die-cut holes in the pages. A good choice for toddler storytime and lap-sits.—Ellie Lease, Harford County Public Library, MD
This colorful, interactive book invites eager viewers to find spots hidden in pictures of everyday, loosely grouped objects: "Spot crows. / Spot wakes. / Spot fries. / Spot bakes" corresponds to a rooster's eye, alarm clock, egg yolk, and blueberry muffin. Playful rhymes pair well with Previn's vibrant, textured acrylics; clever die-cut spots are sprinkled throughout, providing preschoolers with additional hands-on surprises.
