Toddler-PreS–A is for affirmation, B is for breath, and C is for calm in this soothing alphabet board book about mindfulness. Anthropomorphized animals are highlighted on each page with an accompanying letter and sparse text. “N is for Nature. I show the Earth that I care,” shows a narwhal planting items in the sea. Children will enjoy this basic primer to mindfulness, while laughing about the unique illustrations.

VERDICT A general purchase for most libraries.
