Customer Reviews

Somewhat disappointed in condition of this book.

Love the book. Was disappointed with the condition. I purchased the item as excellent condition. Most pages have writing on them and coloring inside cover. I should have just bought a new copy for my granddaughter.

Perfect for little people

My mother sent us this simple little book. At first glance (to adult eyes), it's not much of a story (as is often the case with toddler books). But our two year old loved it. It was read several nights a week, sometimes several times each night. It was soothing and reassuring to go over those words and see the pictures again and again. A small voice would correct you if you stumbled over a phrase or missed a word. It was the first book that she pretented (through memorization) to read to some of her stuffed animals. AND now at age 5, it's the first book she took to kindergarten to read (for real) to her kindergarten teacher. She is so proud. What's the appeal? I think my mom nailed it, the story basically describes a toddler's day. You wake up, you get up, you get dressed and go out. Simple, bold drawings are easy for small eyes to grasp, and the huge colorful scarf is just fun. This book holds special memories for me at least, and will be one of her baby books that gets saved.

Beginner reader and toddler both love it

Both my 4 year old, who is learning to read, and his 19 month old sister love this book. Each page is about a colour, and this, together with rhyme, gives very good contextual clues for an early reader. "The green queen, lay in her red bed, and looked at the grey day" etc.
