About this title

From School Library Journal

PreS?These bright, bold books will be a big hit with preschool audiences. Each one utilizes the same three yellow, fuzzy, stuffed ducks, Dib, Dab, and Dob, to assist children in learning the various concepts. Full-color photographs of the objects appear on single or double-page spreads along with simple questions. In Colors, youngsters are asked to pick out certain items from those displayed in the margins ("What blue things can Dab play with at the ocean?"). Numbers begins with "1 One kitten" and continues through "10 Ten toes," "20 Twenty buttons," and "100 One hundred cars." Shapes prompts readers to take a closer look at everyday objects ("This window is a square. Are windows always square?"). Sizes compares tall and short; thick and thin, etc. For libraries that can't keep concept books on the shelves, these will be welcome additions.?DeAnn Tabuchi, San Anselmo Public Library, CA

From Booklist

Reviewed with Colors.

PreS. The series name--Baby Genius-- may be a bit ambitious, but these two board books offer a stimulating collection of images, grouped by color or shape, for kids who haven't reached their second birthday. Both books feature items familiar to most children (a rubber duck, a ball, a flower, a kitten, a pair of tiny shoes, and so on), described in bouncy, often alliterative text. The vibrant, close-up color photos are printed on sturdy, glossy pages that are larger than those in most board books. First-time parents (and relatives) may appreciate the suggestions, printed on the back covers, for engaging babies with questions about what they see on the pages: "Where's the red drum?" "Can we make our hands look like starfish?" Bright, inviting choices for babies. Gillian Engberg
