PreS-K—This is the bears story told one step at a time, using the letters of the alphabet as guides. "W is for window. Goldilocks jumped out the window. X marks the exact spot where she landed." The bright pictures are digitally made; Goldilocks has enormous hair and looks like a Disney princess, and the three bears have that wide-eyed Disney look as well. With the glut of trendy alphabets and rewritten classics, this one is mundane.—Ieva Bates, Ann Arbor District Library, MI
