Customer Reviews

What all children's books should be!

In a word, this book is exquisite. The classical illustrations are lovely, and the text (though simple) is thought provoking and interesting enough to captivate a small child's attention. My 17-month old son loves this book, and so do I. The beauty of this book sets the bar really high for children's books; now that I have found it I can't bring myself to look at 1/2 the children's books I see - they are so dull and dopey by comparison to this beautiful book!

Charming

The best part is storyboard of the entire book on the last two pages. So simple yet sweet.

Simply Delightful!

The illustrations in this book are so beautiful and classic, and the concepts simple but enjoyable. It is a favorite of my 22 months old - she loves the rhyming and has learned all the words. I also like the summary at the end!

Beautiful Illustration

This is, quite simply, a beautiful book. The simple one-word, per page format works well with little ones who do not sit for long.

great toddler book

my 2 yr old daughter shows signs of reading readiness, and this book allows her to be "successful" in her "reading". it is simple enough to allow her to memorize and follow the very simple words on each page with her finger....and the picture on each page allows her to look at the picture then recall the phrase, so in my opinion it really helps the child move toward reading text. short, cute and purposeful.
