Applause for a great summertime read!

This book gets applause and 5 stars from me. The artwork is colorful, beckoning each reader to come in and have fun. The rhyming prose speaks in a child's language, engaging them to think in the form of analogies. "Gull is to sky as shell is to sand. Child is to family as finger is to hand." "Water is to wet as towel is to dry. Arm is to swim and wing is to fly." These are just some of the examples. The sensory detail is rich and inviting. Going on a car journey? What a great game to have your children think of their own analogies.
