PreS-K–Let’s play! This lively board book follows Alex, a small Black child, who engages readers by asking questions like, “What’s your name? What a great name! Would you like to play some games with us?” This title can help children who are anxious in social situations, allowing them to practice responding to questions alongside Alex. The bright illustrations are very appealing to children, making this book a first purchase for libraries.
VERDICT Developing social-emotional skills is crucial for this age range, and this title will help children understand some of the tools they need to make friends.
