This little book invites to be tugged around, flipped through again and again, and simply played with.
The small, sturdy pages in various sizes and shapes give a toy-like appearance and definitely catch the eye. The book is grip-able from all directions...just right for light fingers and hands...and has a nice, sturdy form. Thanks to the almost 3-D effect of the layered pages, it's simple to flip through, too. In other words, this may be a book, but it gives young listeners/readers the chance to feel, poke and prod.
The illustrations are bright and basic. Yet, there are still a few little details to invite into the scenes. Of course, the theme of a fair sets off a happy, excited atmosphere, and that does come across nicely as well. The basic rides of a fair are presented (train, carousel, Ferris wheel, etc.) and clear to identify.
The text is very short and direct, which works as a very quick read-aloud....great for short attention spans.
I can see little toddlers enjoying this book quite a bit, and it'd make a great bring-a-long for a small gift as well.

This brightly colored board book with diverse characters takes the reader on a tour of the rides at a fair. Each page is in the shape of the description. We see merry-go-rounds, trains, roller coasters (my favorite page), and a ferris wheel. We see the joy on the kids faces as they discover each ride and every yummy treat. This would be a perfect choice to introduce your little ones to a fun fair before your next visit.
