Reviews

[Cheryl · Rating 3 out of 5]

Lovely illustrations with Diverse children enjoying nature, fresh air, and exercise. Poems are easy, as they are directed to beginning readers (Moncure is a name in the business) but not too sing-song simple. This book should be better known... I'm sure a family of the target audience would rate it higher and bring up the average community rating.
