Reviews

[Margaret Chind]

We bought this as a former library book a little while ago and I'd say it was a $0.25 well spent. It is library binding, so it's that odd really hard stuff, but it is quite the same size as a board book with typical paperback pages. So it's an interesting mixture. While the size is right for OrangeBlossom, the text is right for AppleBlossom in emphasizing certain letters per page. It reminds me of the Richard Scarry Colors book that I only have as a Nook Book, but wouldn't mind having in person. I'd have every Richard Scarry book there ever was if I could.

Full of random words and pictures, but still a great way for little ones to discover new words.
