My 17-month old daughter loves to have this read to her over and over. This is a favorite author of mine and the artist has that "Norman Rockwell"-ish knack for making his illustrations appear to move on the page. Tip: Look for the hidden letters on the P and G pages! I've yet to find the rest of the alphabet.
EXCELLENT
