[Jill · Rating 4 out of 5]

E (2yr 4m old) likes flipping through this one. It's a great early reader--she calls it one of her "baby" books, i.e. non-board books that she can hold easily in her hands. I love the simplicity of the illustrations and words. Cute little book.

I found a great quote by this author: "What makes you think children like childish things? Don't tell them how to be children. They want to grow up."
