PreS—Based on the print book of the same title (Orchard, 2000), this app features a scenario that will be familiar to households with young children: revisiting the day's activities in search of a missing lovey. Here viewers help Audrey and her mother as they look under couch cushions, in drawers, and through cupboards, until at last the stuffed animal is found and the girl and bear are reunited and tucked safely into bed. The appealing art is bold and bright, featuring animations and page turns that can easily be manipulated by young children. A narration, accompanied by a few sounds effects and musical interludes, enhance this simple but satisfying story. Available in English, Spanish, and German.—Daryl Grabarek, School Library Journal
