PreS—Mr. and Mrs. Claus and the elves prepare for the big night before Santa takes to the skies with his reindeer. In this interactive board book, readers are asked to look for groups of items and count them, but with little indication of what the groups are. For example, the scene of Santa's buckled boots surrounded by toys comes with the instruction, "Count groups of one and groups of two." There are almost no numerals in sight and most of the flaps have nothing to do with the counting concept. The digital cartoon art is bright, but generic. Cheery but confusing.—Joanna K. Fabicon, Los Angeles Public Library
