PreS-K–In this alphabet/counting book disguised as a seek-and-find, a child can first peek through a die-cut shape for a glimpse of what will become an entire page of chunky, little, animal cracker–like silhouettes in pleasing colors; think gift wrap. The name of every silhouetted object begins with one of the featured letters, and newbie counters are encouraged to find, for example, one Earth, two eggs, three dolphins, four fish, and five dragonflies.
VERDICT Endearingly rendered objects fit together like puzzle pieces with the letters that start them and beg to be examined closely and tallied up.
