This is just all sorts of gorgeous - perfect for tiny hands with interesting shapes, bright colours and cute animal characters as the seasons turn and the forest changes. I can't wait to share this with my little one!
Delightful concept. Very short basically just five different scenes but it is visually interesting and lovely to look at. I can imagine some children might like to incorporate this into their imaginative play scenes.
With different shaped pages, this is a book which invites to explore and discover.
Small and fairly sturdy, this book is made for smaller hands. The various shaped pages allows kids to finger each one with interest and add to the already bright illustrations. The trees, animals and various scenes bring across the beauty and excitement of nature. Young listeners are given a positive view of nature, which will open their own curiosity to what's out doors as well as maybe remind them of some experiences of their own.
A lovely text follow each page—nothing too difficult but enough to interest even the upper spectrum of the age range. It deepens the atmosphere of each scene and fits to the age group nicely.
Summed up, it's a cute little book for young listeners and looks nice too.
I received a complimentary copy and found it to be a cute book. So, I'm leaving my honest thoughts.
Already fallen apart. Pretty on a shelf, but because of the shape, the binding doesn't stand up. Taped, retaped, and doesn't stand up straight anymore. None of these are good re: longevity.
