Linda Shubert, Alief Ind. School District, Houston, TX Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information. - Criticas PreS-These bold-colored books with simple pictures teach basic concepts. The first book introduces words associated with clothing, toys, animals, home, parks, food, and everyday activities. The second book tackles colors and opens with a bunny climbing into bowls of red, blue, and yellow paint. The playful creature then hops from bowl to bowl, mixing red and yellow to make orange; red and blue to make purple; blue and yellow to make green; and red, blue, and yellow to make brown. The series' third book focuses on counting. Each page is filled with attractive objects that help forge the connection between the number of items shown and the corresponding number between one and 10. All three books have excellent pictures that allow for vocabulary building and for children's "rereading" the books on their own. Parents, teachers, and librarians will find these attractive and age-appropriate books easy to use. Recommended for libraries and bookstores. Veronica Betancourt - Children's Literature Perry and Baker have produced another polished title in the "Los conejitos aprenden" series. In this book, the four bunnies learn to count not only to ten and then to twenty. The fact that this book goes beyond ten demonstrates its more advanced scope. Children can not only count numbers, and their corresponding objects, but also group items according to characteristics, and appreciate the sequential nature of numbers. Baker has a sophisticated illustration of two bunnies stacking blocks from the number eleven to the number twenty, in bar graph style. Within each pile of blocks, thenumbers are represented by the same blocks, so that the child may understand how numbers add up. Likewise, the text coaxes readers to perform basic mathematics like identifying whether four large cups and a small cup will be enough cups for four bunnies and a mouse. Though the book stimulates more advanced readers, it is also satisfying to younger audiences who may enjoy the quiet actions of rabbits trying on shoes, or purchasing produce. As such, siblings or classmates of different levels may share the book without getting bored. Like its companion in the series, this book suggests activities that challenge the reader to interact with the information from the book. 2003 (orig. 1998), Kingfisher Publications, Ages 3 to 5.
