Toddler-K–In the “Raccoon Rambles” series, a sweet outing to the park offers six succinct spreads on the gray raccoon’s day. This child needs a park bench for rest after sniffing flowers, enjoying ice cream (manners and “thank you” in place), going on the swing, playing ball, using the slide, and more. The various facial expressions tell caregivers and toddlers whether the mood is cheerful or introspective, for the day has many moments.
VERDICT A tidy addition to a winning series, this is a perfect way to put preschoolers into the park before they get there, or to remind them, on rainy days, of a little piece of outdoors.
