PreS—A stylized, spindly legged, yellow chick dons cape, boots, and goggles to transform block playing into rescuing a baby dragon from a castle and bath time into a high-sea adventure. Primary colors and large patterns dominate the illustrations, and Purcell makes opportunity for investigation by including numbers, shapes, and letters in the well-ordered backgrounds. Die cuts on each spread provide a peek-a-boo guessing game. This simple board book is supersized in extension activities.—Gay Lynn Van Vleck, Henrico County Library, Glen Allen, VA
