The art is stunning, cut out images and patterns that tease the eye, this book is a visual delight. The rhyming less spectacular overall. At times I felt the text was a little forced to fit the rhyme rather than flowing naturally. Still this is a remarkable little book of farm creatures and people and is one of those rare books I can actually recommend for teachers looking for books with "patterns".
The images and concept of this book are great, each die cut page turns to reveal the second part of each rhyme, and the pictures are beautiful. Unfortunately this book was translated from French and so some of the text is hit or miss. I don't know many american two year olds who relate to a person's "gait".
Love the bright colors and cut outs. The book was kind of stiff so the first cut outs didn't really work as well as the ones in the middle. Still a lot of fun and simple enough for the youngest child.
Bold black and white images over colorful cutouts create a visually appealing hide and seek experience.
