Reviews

[Eliza]

It seems like it's meant to teach some basic English words, but uses too many misleading illustrations that make them hard to learn.

[Kristie]

Bold and colorful illustrations will certainly please many children.

[Kristin Fletcher-spear]

Picked this up at the library today when we went to babytime. Great bold colored images.

[Angela]

BOld cut-out illustrate this minimal- text board book. Try for Alzheimer's story time.

[Rochelle Sondae]

Simple text with bold illustrations for each concept.

[Kim]

Lovely, bold colors, got a lot of attention from the babies at laptime

[Mary]

Very nice in baby/toddler storytime.

[Ciera]

Good book to show kids opposites. Short and sweet

[Cheryl]

A concept book that is a little too artsy and a not quite clear enough. Best for families who hang Warhol's tomato soup poster in the nursery....

[Nadina]

A little too abstract for my liking. Colors were good for young readers. Definitely more of a one-on-one and interact with your kid book than a storytime title.
