Editorial Reviews

12/01/2024

PreS-K—The titles in this series for very young readers feature simple conflicts, if they include a conflict at all. In one story, Joe loses his tablet, and then he finds it. Other stories lack a definitive ending or plot arc. The boys have sporty or STEM interests: a hoverboard, a sailboat, video games, a rocket. Two books focused on girls are about feelings, although a third girl has a robot, which her mother designed. Each page features one simple or compound sentence accompanied by an illustration. Artwork consists of colorful compositions with a digital crayon look. All the child characters have expressive faces, and a variety of skin tones are depicted. All the children are thin. Back matter includes a word lists, such as words that end in -ly and or have the prefix re-, as well as the entirety of the book's text on one page, with the word count provided. VERDICT This series features weak narratives but may help with phonological awareness and print motivation.
