PreS—A celebration of growing up, depicted via a series of before-and-after vignettes. Different preschool narrators take turns reminiscing about how life has improved now that they are "big." Youngsters will identify with the small triumphs of independence, such as working a zipper, feeding oneself, and playing with friends at the park. Throughout, each child is shown as an infant and, on the opposite page, as an independent preschooler. Katz's watercolor and gouache illustrations are consistent with what fans have come to expect. A pleasant choice that deserves a place in most collections.—Laura Hunter, Mount Laurel Library, NJ
