Our lesson plan was balloons and this was one of the few we found at our library. In fact it was the only balloon book there. My five year old really did enjoy the colors and balloons. I loved the sharing lesson it offered! He hates to take it back - hugged it and said he would miss it. SO if you are looking for a simple book on balloons that teaches color and a little bit on sharing "Here You Go"!
When my kids were 2-3 years old, they loved this book. There isn't much dialog, you really need to have more of a discussion with your child while reading this story....but it's super sweet.
