Toddler-PreS—This entry in the series uses sketches from Picasso's notebooks to teach animal recognition. The text includes facts about the creatures pictured—that flamingos stand on one leg, that camels' humps grow and shrink, that dogs and horses can learn to perform tricks—plus a short, kid-friendly essay about the artist at the end. The single-line drawings are beautifully simple, but their subjects are instantly recognizable and will likely inspire more than one kid (or parent) to pick up a pencil.
