Customer Reviews

Beautiful book, with rhythm and rhyme

My 23-month-old has LOVED this book for months now! We had taken it out from the library and renewed it until we could no longer...so we bought a copy and it truly is wonderful. The delightful illustrations are bright, simple, and inspiring - the colors are just a feast for the eyes! The text is simple, and has a lot of repetition which is wonderful and important for infants and toddlers and preschoolers - my little one knows the text pretty well, and completes several of my sentences as I read!

Simplicity and Sunshine

In light-hearted, rhythmic, short rhyming phrases, little children, who are brown, greet their island world, depicted in bright, minimalist, silhouetted illustrations for an overall care-free and fun-filled experience to be appreciated by pre- and early-readers, and their adults.
