PreS–This informative alphabet board book is a primer on environmentalism for the youngest learners and citizens. Each page provides a three-line paragraph that describes the spotlighted word and a lively illustration of the featured term. As with most titles in this genre and format, some of the chosen words and phrases are a bit of a reach, but they combine letter identification and environmental conservation in an age-appropriate, colorful way.
VERDICT An excellent addition to classroom and library collections for alphabet practice and discussions about the environment and Earth Day.
