Reviews
PreSchool-K-These colorful board books combine stunning animal photos with computer-generated "doodle" animals in the same pictures. Shake shows the creatures demonstrating various action words, such as "climb," "eat," and "dig." This and That introduces opposites, e.g., a photo of a "big" elephant next to a "small" doodle mouse. With minimal text, the focus stays on the illustrations. Both books make copious use of white space and are attractively designed. The doodle animals are too often indistinguishable blobs, though some of the larger ones, such as the smiling polar bear, do stand out. Some of the pairings work better than others; in the book on opposites, the most successful spread plays the photographic reality of a shark against the nonthreatening doodle of a smiling fish for "fierce and gentle," while the majority of the illustrations in the verb book are enlivened by the bright doodle animals that nearly leap off the page. On the whole, however, these books are too complicated for babies; while the bright colors and handsome layouts may catch younger children's eyes, the combination of art styles will probably be most appreciated by older preschoolers.
