My 2 yr old loves it

My 2 yr old loves it and his big sister also did when she was younger....all the animals portrayed are kosher which was something I was happy about... enjoy!

Excellent for any child

The "official" reviewer of this book must not have any children, because they miss the point completely. This book is our kids' favorite, precisely because of the beautiful pastoral scenes and all the animals featured. Our kids name them and call them out with glee. The drawings are sweet, the colors are beautiful, and it's a staple of bedtime reading. The only "negativity" as suggested by the reviewer is their own world view. We can't wait for another by this author (Nutkis) precisely because of the commendable way it describes the story of the giving of the Torah without sappy sentimentalism or politically correct buffoonery.
