PreS—Each book presents a common childhood experience through a friendly narrator who explains step-by-step what is happening. Katie, who has a cough and a fever, goes for an examination. "The doctor has to listen to my chest, tummy, and back. Brrr, the metal feels cold!" Kevin and his dad go to the library, select some books to take home, and check them out on his own card. These books will guide parents through a discussion of what to expect as they prepare and reassure their children. Large, colorful illustrations support the texts. There is more narrative than in most books for such young children, but since they will be most useful one-on-one, adults can stop and chat with listeners before returning to the texts.—Amelia Jenkins, Juneau Public Library, AK
