Toddler-PreS—A concept book featuring charming and friendly pastel hamsters using a mix of typical and unexpected modes of locomotion. Traditional conveyances like a bus and train contrast with "Hamsters on a unicycle" and "Hamsters on a Moon rover." The rhyme and repetition make this an easy title to share with babies or toddlers. The cartoon-style illustrations introduce humorous detail, as shown in the facial expressions of the hamsters and the reaching tentacle on the "and even way down low" spread, while still maintaining a simplicity appropriate for a toddler audience.
VERDICT Recommended for board book collections, this is a work that caregivers will enjoy sharing.
