Toddler-PreS—Urban explores animal-related idioms through a fun guessing game that pairs bouncy rhymes with close-ups of different faces. A whiskered, sharp-faced creature describes itself as "Quick and cheeky, smart and sneaky. I'm as sly as a…." A page turn reveals the answer: a fox. Vibrant images fill each page, accompanied by large text. Strategically placed die-cut holes and flashy, fun details (a red bandana for the ox, a pair of sunglasses for the bat) add to the charm.—Mahnaz Dar, School Library Journal
