Editorial Reviews

11/01/2017
Toddlers-PreS—Full-color photographs feature young children and their families in this set that explores the members of an immediate family. Each starts with a simple definition of what that person (brother, father, grandmother) might do, such as a grandmother who is a doctor, one who goes for walks on the beach with a grandchild, or another who helps her granddaughter bake. Fathers and Mothers both include photos of same-sex families. However, the cumulative effect of reading this series is that in order to make a family one needs to fill these roles, which may dismay kids who don't have brothers, sisters, etc. VERDICT A solid beginning point for larger libraries that serve toddlers and preschoolers.
