Toddler-PreS–“Let’s go home, baby shark” is the book’s opening line. The left side of the spread shows all the things baby shark might see, from a jellyfish to a turtle to some seaweed, while the right side has baby shark itself on an S-shaped simple sliding mechanism that toddlers can use a finger or two to move toward home and family. The next spread features a baby crab and the same structure; what follows is a baby octopus and a baby puffin. The variety of flora, fauna, clouds, or rocks that children can locate will keep them captivated.
VERDICT A gentle game of seek-and-find, a few motor skill exercises, but mostly the reward that at the end of a path, home awaits. A very sweet book.
