This book was well-received by my nieces and nephews. It does help to be there to get them started with the idea of the book. The reader tells his or her own story based on the pictures. Now the older ones "read" to the younger ones asking them questions like "What happens next?" "And then what happens?" Fun and interactive.
A MUST. This book and Boyd's Flashlight are PERFECTION. I am a picky artist type and had to ASAP get both these books as soon as I discovered them. Full of images to look out both inside and outside this little kids home, and cute little cut outs to see into the next page. The colors are a dream too.
We first checked this out from the library when my child was about 2 1/2, and since then I've bought about a half dozen copies as gifts. The illustrations are very detailed and there's always something new to find, even on the millionth read. I particularly like buying this book for our friends who are raising bilingual children (because they can talk about the book in any language) and as a "new big sibling" gift (because a child can "read" it alone while the parents are preoccupied with the baby).
There are no written words, but it the amazing detail in every picturemakes it so easy to create your own. It goes through the seasons and different activities to do inside and outside. My daughter loves creating a new story every time she opens this book.
This is the BEST children's book I have came across. I love it! And thankfully my daughter does too. We have been reading it every evening multiple times. We make up names for each of the characters and are able to create our own story. I hope to find more books similar to this one!!!!
It's very nice to look at. The art is very sweet and calming. It's nice to roam around in the environment with your imagination. I bought it for my son because I used to do that with richly illustrated books ENDLESSLY when I was young, but I have several years before he is there yet. It's just for me to enjoy right now, and I do.
This is such a beautifully designed, elegant little book, and my 16-month-old daughter loves it. We checked it out from the public library and it's been *the* favorite for two weeks. She loves to point out all the animals -- she's even learning their names -- and poke her fingers through the cutouts that reveal the inside/outside scenes. We've got to bring the library copy back in a few days, so I'm ordering our own copy, pronto. Hurray for Lizi Boyd! Make more! Make more!
