Toddler-PreS–A board book with serious purpose toward language development is charmingly executed. Illustrations full of puppy energy and action, along with mostly a single repeated word per spread, capture a day in the life of a young dog and her human caregivers. Written by a speech-language pathologist, the opening pages guide caregivers with a variety of techniques to encourage early words and sound development in young children.

VERDICT An outwardly simple title has helpful tips for caregivers to deepen the reading experience.
