Starred Review

PreS—Another lovely rhyming book for preschoolers about Noni and her friends, Dave the Dog, Coco the Cat, and the "ladies next door" (cows), who go to the beach for a day of frolicking and splashing. Simple, happy illustrations depict the friends' day, against a backdrop of pale turquoise sea, sandy beige beaches, and the rosy pink of a sunset once the friends turn homewards. VERDICT A perfect blend of text and pictures makes this an outstanding offering for the youngest crowd.—Judith Constantinides, formerly at East Baton Rouge Parish Main Library, LA

Review quotes

"Noni, friendly and funny, is the perfect pony for preschoolers. Like Noni herself, the light rhyme, bustling with rhythm and easy to read, is friendly and funny.... Each couplet is accompanied by Lester's droll illustrations.... The gentle ending, with pony and friends cuddled up for bed, slows the trotting long enough— just the way a book for toddlers should end. Night-night, Noni."—Kirkus Reviews, August 2012
