PreS-K–Returning from a day out, young animals encourage their caretakers to get home before the sunset. The families portrayed offer a sampling of the diverse family structures that are part of children’s lives, from a daddy and dad, a mommy and mom, a single father, a grandmother monkey handling it all, and more.

VERDICT Reflecting some of the variety in the world makes this a title worthy of recommendation for all libraries.
