PreS-Gr 1—Cleverly combining dogs, cars, and letters, this delightful counting book provides an engaging way for young ones to learn the sequence of the alphabet. This fetching title features well-known critters such as Afghan hounds and Labradors and more exotic breeds including Volpinos and Zuchons riding around in fanciful vehicles. The detailed and imaginative illustrations are sure to captivate prereaders as they count each cute canine to make sure things tally up. For example, inquisitive tykes will want to determine that there truly are nine Irish setters in the SUV, 13 yapping Maltese in the red convertible, and 18 Rottweilers cruising in the shiny limo.
VERDICT Toddlers and preschoolers will be keen to share this title again and again as they explore letters, numbers, and a whimsical array of dogs and cars.
