Customer Reviews

The Wave

This is my 2 1/2 year old grandaughter's favorite book. We got it from the library for 4 weeks and she hated to return it. I bought it and had it shipped to her house. She asks her mother to read it to her every night. She says that she loves the little girl and the beach. The book has no words but great imaginative pictures that tell a story.

I can almost hear the waves churning

I love this book! It's a take on a simple idea of a child playing with the waves. This wordless book doesn't need any words because you can hear the waves churning, seagulls crying and the sweet little girl giggling and screaming just from the simplified art.

Taste of the sea

Suzy Lee's Wave is gorgeous, so expressive you can almost taste the salty water reaching the beach - and the girl. A lovely little story about how you acquire knowledge about this world, something you can't do without taking some risk. For children who don't read yet, and for adults any age who love beauty.

Delightful Picture Book

They say a picture is worth a thousand words and this book proves it. There are no words, but the story is clear as you look at the pictures. The illustrations are delightful and the story cute. Much loved by my family.

return to my childhood

This book is very special, like "Zoo" (By Susy Lee). The girl plays with the wave among the pages, and the wave finds the way to enter in the girl's world. The world of the girl is on the right pages, and the wave's world is on the left pages... It is a book that invites me to remember my childhood, playing with the waves. The message is very tender and ingenious and the illustrations are very very nice and expressive. http://www.suzyleebooks.com/books/wave/
