Toddler-PreS—This bilingual concept book series has been reissued into a board book format that will be even more appealing to little ones. While Opuestos (about opposites) and Colores de la vida (about colors) feature only one or two words on each, Animal Talk (about animal sounds) and Count Me In! (about numbers) have longer narratives and might even be used during baby storytime. Each entry has either ceramic or wood sculptures created by Oaxacan folk artists that elevate these works above most bilingual concept books. The intricately crafted figures jump off bright, vibrant background colors in electric pinks, yellows, blues, and greens. Their expressive faces will elicit giggles from both tots and their grown-ups. Must-have selections for all bilingual collections.
