PreS-K--Making great use of the publisher's trademark high-quality photography, Evans presents a slim, fun volume on otters for the smallest of readers. Following the title page is a "Vocabulary Tree" that diagrams important words found in the book. The text clearly narrates and explores each accompanying photograph. The words are large and bold and presented on clean backgrounds. After a busy day swimming, eating, and running about, the otter settles down to sleep. At the back of the book is a "Your Turn" section where readers can relate their own daily activities to the otters'. VERDICT Libraries and classrooms looking to expand their preschool and kindergarten collections would do well to consider this title as an economic and engaging addition.--Taylor Worley, Springfield Public Library, OR
