PreS-This colorful board book takes youngsters through the steps of going on errands. Busy fabric collage and strong black lines make vivid images of a mother and two small children. On the first page Mom asks: "What comes before GO?" The children answer: "We know...Get ready! Get set!" They then "Get ready, get set... GO potty first." They get their coats and a snack, and buckle car seats. Their first stop is a grocery store. From the cart the little boy reaches for "sugar snacks" and "cookie wookies." "Uh-oh, the answer is no." His older sister calms him with deep breaths. "If you're sad or mad, take deep breaths. Ready, set? B-r-e-a-t-h-e in and out and in again. That's how you calm down." She helpfully hands Mom a bag of oranges. The siblings walk to a library and then go home to play. The final spread provides "'On-the-Go' Tips for Parents & Caregivers" such as "keep to a schedule" and "plan for some fun." This book would be a useful conversation starter for young families needing to help their children with similar tasks.-Amelia Jenkins, Juneau Public Library, AK
