PreS-K—The title says it all, as shapes are blocked out in bright colors of fabric then stitched down with a homespun flair. Under the category of "Yummy Food" is a red apple, a yolked egg, avocado, and more; other groupings are "Stuff at Home," "Things to Wear," Cute Animals," and plenty of toddler-friendly material for hours of point-and-name. VERDICT As snug as a favorite blanket, with padded pages and so much to look at, this catalog of a young child's world is amazing.
