PreS-K-Large, colorful cut-paper figures, placed on bright backgrounds, will captivate children as they learn the names of 10 farm residents and their young. In only four words per double-page spread, youngsters are introduced to such creatures as "BIG COW/little calf." The brief lesson ends with "BIG HUMAN/little baby," and shows the child surrounded by wind-up versions of the various animals introduced. The last double-page spread reveals all of the appealing characters together for a review of animal names, counting, or pairing. One small quibble: why "BIG CHICK/little chick," instead of "BIG HEN/little chick?" This title will be enjoyed by prereaders learning word recognition as well as by toddlers.-Maryann H.
