PreS—Greene and Kirk join forces again (
Push! Dig! Scoop! A Counting Construction Rhyme), this time to tackle the alphabet. This creative and appealing title takes children on a zooming journey with recognizable animal friends through the alphabet. Rhyming text couples with vibrant digitally produced images to invite readers to travel via land, sea, and air. ("I cruise through town out on patrol. Protecting people is my goal! I'm, a…Police Car.") Each page consists of a singsonglike rhyme that makes for a jovial readaloud and then ends with identifying the letter and mode of transportation. Greene and Kirk even tackle more difficult letters with success. ("My click-clack's quicker, guaranteed! I'm an eXpress Train!") The book opens with a spread showing a large truck carrying all 26 capital letters, which makes for an excellent resource for helping children identify letters before searching for each letter within the story.
VERDICT Recommended for general purchase for picture book collections.
