PreS—A reimagining of Augustus and His Smile as a counting concept book. Beginning with "One sad tiger sitting alone" readers count all the friendly creatures and natural phenomena the tiger encounters until the all-is-well ending, "One happy tiger and ten little friends." The rewards of curiosity and the willingness to break out of one's shell are deftly communicated. A tender work to share one-on-one.
