Not my favorite book, but I will say that this is a "hand-me-down" from The Turkeybird who also adored this book. What I do like about it is that it spans many age groups. Even now The Turkeybird(my son, age 3) is able to look at the book with a different purpose than Littlebug(my daughter, age 1) who is looking to learn about the animals in the pictures, as she gets going in her reading. The Turkeybird picks it up now and we can sit together looking for different shapes and objects using the guide in the back of the book. The official age range says 4-8, which I'm not so sure about, but we'll see.

Though I personally am not drawn to this book, little ones definitely are and if you're looking for a great beginning book that will get years of use this is it. It's inexpensive and educational. A great book for a beginning library. ( )
