PreS-K—Facing pages offer two items to compare. An apple and a hedgehog-which is round? After turning the page, the question is repeated, but the apple is down to the core and the hedgehog has rolled into its protective ball. The next spread features a duck and a peacock and asks which is bigger. Other comparisons include longer and faster. The question "What do you think?" creates opportunity for discussion. Simple text and color cartoon animals on solid backgrounds allow children to focus on the investigations.—Gay Lynn Van Vleck, Henrico County Library, Glen Allen, VA
