Toddler-PreS—This Canadian import shows all the possibilities of a small red ball. Each page poses a question directly to the red ball: "Are you an apple hanging from an apple tree?/Are you a cherry sliding off a mountain of ice cream?" Christmas is specifically mentioned, with the page showing a traditional evergreen tree with presents underneath. The word toque is used to describe a stocking hat, which might confuse U.S. audiences. Nonetheless, children will enjoy guessing what each incarnation is, and the satisfying ending makes this a storytime crowd-pleaser.
