PreS-K—Children watch a red car as it follows a red bus through busy city streets, until the road is filled with other colorful vehicles. The bus meanderers past townsfolk, street life, cities, and countryside as basic text describes it being followed by red and yellow cars, yellow and orange vans, a blue truck, and, lastly, blue and red bikes. When a second red bus enters the streets, the whole sequence begins again. Collages of torn and textured paper offer bold and colorful illustrations, yet contain the smallest details, such as raindrops and facial gestures. Similarities, differences, repetitiveness, and sequencing are all nicely tied together to aid in the teaching of these concepts to the youngest learners.—Janet Weber, Tigard Public Library, OR
