Reviews

[Carrie Poppy · Rating 1 out of 5]

Turns out, this book is for three year olds.

[Cyndie Courtney · Rating 3 out of 5]

My mom says this book pretty much summed up exactly who I was at three years old. It has brief one sentence pages with accompanying illustrations that walk through some of the common developmental stages and challenges from the point of view of a toddler. It was fun to be able to then read this book to my kiddos when they were three too.

[Josiah · Rating 1 out of 5]

Louise Fitzhugh's protagonist in this book is sort of a scale model version of Harriet the Spy, witty and smart and energetic. I'm sure that this look into the life of an effervescent three-year-old will be much fun for a lot of readers, and I am glad to have read a Louise Fitzhugh book for the first time.
