PSMy First series.
These books, which employ crisp photos set against candy-colored backdrops, document familiar firsts: the first day of school, a new sibling, and a dental exam. Vacation describes some travel basics, however, this book seems more diffuse as the text and photos don't feature one child but a variety of travelers. The dutiful, somewhat rote text includes observations presented in dialogue balloons. Glos., ind. Review covers these My First titles: First Brother or Sister, First Day at School, First Vacation, and First Visit to the Dentist.
