My two year old really enjoyed it. There is a window where you see one of something and then you turn the page and see several of it. It is a GREAT counting book, especially because it teaches how words can change when you have more than one of them. I HIGHLY recommend this for a kid learning numbers!(less)

A little long to keep a kid's attention (for a 2 year old). I absolutely LOVED the concept of walking THROUGH art in a book. I especially liked that at the end you are shown the actual paintings that inspired the book. Very clever and well done. Story line is a little dull, but overall great job on this one.(less)

I love the concept of fun at the library. I love the concept of getting lost in the story. I liked the illustrated reference to "Goodnight Moon." Wonderful rhyming in this book. Clever and not forced. After finishing it I immediately wanted to start all over again. My daughter loved looking at the bats on the pages. Illustrations were wonderful.(less)

You can flip it over and read it the other way...so one way you read about the Mom, the other way like the Dad. The book is all right. My main concern with it is that nothing really happens so it was tough to keep my daughter interested. The spanish in it was really fun, though. Also, the illustrations are cute.(less)

Mama, on the other hand, didn't get the big deal. Illustrations weren't great. Kinda boring. Aren't I a buzz killer?(less)

The story line was difficult to follow. Book was tough for my two year old to follow...and me for that matter! Don't get me wrong, I have a graduate degree in English, I can piece together a plot...this just wasn't that well-executed. Not really a fan. Bummer too, daughter loves Monkey books.(less)

But alas, this book is intended for my daughter and she is IN LOVE. Everyday I am asked about this book. She wants to know how a train falls over. She wants me to feed her food with a choo choo train. She loves the dinosaurs...and trains. So, maybe it will work for your kids!(less)

We read this over and over again to reinforce the animal names (and my little 2 year old is STILL convinced that I am wrong and the worm is a snake). Very cute book.(less)

The only draw for my daughter was she liked the animals on each page, but there are millions of other books out there with those same animals but with better plot lines. Bummer!(less)

My oldest, who is two, had noticed them sneaking off with the carrots in the background. I was kind of left wondering things like what was the party for? I also wished there was some story to them making the soup (since that IS the title), but there is a recipe in the back!(less)
