PreS—Like Katz's ABC, Baby Me! (Scholastic, 2010), ABC School's for Me! uses the alphabet to carry readers through the rhyming text. A preschool class of young bear friends learns the alphabet, colors, traces, hears stories, plays, crafts, and cooperates throughout the day. Colorful yet soft illustrations convey warm, friendly, and fun thoughts about school. Adult readers can help young children explore the details of the illustrations to uncover various activities, emotions, and personalities that they may experience in preschool.
VERDICT A furry and fun introduction to the preschool experience.
Reviewed by Lindsay Persohn, University of South Florida, Tampa
Well-metered rhymes tell the ABCs of school. From books, crayons, and dump trucks to letters, numbers, and opposites, this alphabetical list of school elements smoothly covers even the trickiest of letters. Munsinger's pictures feature expressive bears making glitter art, practicing writing, and playing in the sandbox. Not the least bit didactic, this concept book will be returned to repeatedly.
