COPY ISBN
PreS-K–Bees, butterflies, and other creatures found in and around the garden introduce young children to straightforward concepts such as “front and back” and “before and after.” Poetic language and beautifully bold yet detailed illustrations entice children to explore and enjoy the “magic flaps” to learn more about the natural world; this will send children with backyards out into the world and open the eyes of young urban dwellers in parks.
VERDICT Text, illustrations, and a gorgeous design work in concord to create a rewarding exploratory experience. Recommended.
