PreS—A charming photo collection of a young boy and his puppy that depicts the joy of peaceful slumber. Preschoolers get an up-close-and-personal view of Theo and Beau as they sleep, dream, and toss and turn their way through hours of naptime. This lovable duo will have little ones captivated by the spread of realistic photographs and soothing text. The images were originally featured on Shyba's blog, "Momma's Gone City," and her author's note relays the story of Theo's adoption and afternoon routine of cuddling beside his new owner. Despite the cuteness overload, this treasure of a book will appeal to both toddlers and their adoring parents.—Claire Moore, Darien Library, CT
Fast asleep with limp limbs intertwined, clear, close-up photos of Beau the toddler and Theo the rescue puppy chronicle their loving and peaceful shared naptimes. The text is more observation ("Sleeping on our backs. And on our bellies") than story, but this glimpse at the bond between human and pet will charm even the grumpiest among us. Beau's adoption story is appended.
