1.5 - I didn't really like this too much. And um, I didn't really get it too much either. Bears = hungry people? Huh? Birds are the feather people?
I'm constantly mind boggled at how many authors make their living with what amounts to no work. I mean, this is basically what you would expect when you hear a toddler rambling. Make that a very tired child rambling.
I fail to see the greatness. And for the record, Julia failed to see it as well.

Read in celebration of Camille on the occasion of her 2nd birthday! Recommended to us by Constance, one of the fantastic children's librarians at the Carnegie in Oakland.
This is a sweet little book that emphasizes how different God's creations are and how we love all of those differences! The kids love it too!
Celebrate people and animals! I think I could possibly read this book in Sunday School when talking about all of God's creatures!
It's just a colorful joyful celebration of life and the creatures around us, especially those we love.
Cute book for young readers. Really shows how to be accepting of all people and things. C. 2007 genre:
Adorable pictures in this book. Not destined to be a favorite but worth reading at least once.
Great children's book about birds, fish, bugs, bears, people and characteristics of each.
LOVE this book! It is such a fun book to read to a child because it talks about the various animal groups and then at the end of the book it makes it personal by saying "And here's to you, the YOU person, YOU! I love you, you you person you! My daughter loves it because it makes her feel super special. :)
And illustrations are great, too! :)

My mom gave this book to Jack for his birthday. It is a really cute book and the kids LOVED it! The illustrations are perfect, cutsie, but the kids can still tell what kind of animal it is. It can be frustrating to read a book to them when the picture doesn't really look like a dog. A good storytime/Ilove you book. The prose is very fun to read.
I love reading this to my kids and they love hearing it. They each pick characters of the book that they get to "be". During the last two pages we have a silly little routine we go through that involves lots of tickling and giggling - they just LOVE it!
Looked cute from the cover picture, but the story was dumb. I couldn't seem to understand why it kept talking about the animals as people...maybe it's above my head... :)
I love that this book celebrates the things around us and THEN asks our little one's to celebrate themselves too.
