PreS-K—A charming board book that names a feat children perform regularly, creating portmanteaus, or the blending of two words to make a new one. The text starts with, "A snuggle…A tickle…Both at once? That's a snickle!" Each spread features a real picture of a young child and caregiver on the recto page, while the verso page introduces the new word. The rhyming cadence makes this title a great one for baby story times and one-on-one readings. Older children will love it, too. VERDICT A first purchase for all libraries, and not limited to the conventional board book audience.—Brooke Newberry
