PreS-Gr 1–Inspired by French engravings from the 17th century, the Lobels created an award-winning tour of a marvelous street, rendering scene after scene while also following an abecedarium. It’s a cityscape worth poring over and an unforgettable alphabet.

VERDICT A reissue that revisits such marvelous scenes will be welcome for young lapsitters and their caregivers alike.
