PS
Every page features alliterative tongue twisters, such as "A trio of triceratops touching their toes." Bright, flat marker illustrations are busy but appealingly childlike and introduce toddlers to new vocabulary. Adults will easily tire of the twenty repetitions of the titles, but the phrases may encourage pronunciation skills. The depiction of preschoolers riding a tandem and writing in cursive seems unrealistic.
