Reviews

PreS-K—Olivera follows up his ABCs on Wings with this mostly terrestrial vehicular alphabet (lunar rover being the only exception). Illustrated in a retro, cartoony style with wonderfully rich colors and angular graphics, cars, limos, buses, and even a stagecoach fill the pages, accompanied by captions that display uppercase and lowercase letters—"Aa is for axle, Bb is for bumper…" and so on. While young readers will be familiar with many of the vehicles pictured, such as an ice-cream truck or a yellow cab, a hot rod, compact, or double-decker might elicit questions and require further explanation. VERDICT A fun addition to ABC and transportation collections.—Yelena Alekseyeva-Popova, formerly at Chappaqua Library, NY
