I don't know why the ratings for this are so low, this book is adorable. I love it. and I'm 19. My only issue with it is that all the animals are plural except the cat?? It throws off the rhythm. Otherwise I'd give it 5 stars. You should read this book.

My baby likes it and does not yet have his own Goodreads account. I struggle with the chicken and rabbit sounds.

[K.L. Bernard · Rating 5 out of 5]

This sturdy board book perfect for little hands is a great way to get babies learning about books and reading time. Cute pictures in contrast colors share animals and their sounds. Ducks, cows, sheep and even horses are represented.

Parents will love the idea of teaching their toddlers eye and hand coordination, how to turn pages and help little one recognize familiar objects.

When we originally picked this up and I flipped through it (back in October; I am way, way behind on my reviews), I thought it was cute if somewhat forgettable, with its stylized, childlike drawings and incredible simplicity. But here it is December, the kid is coming up on two months old (tomorrow, as I write this), and I have to say that he is fascinated with this book as is he with no other we currently own, to the point of my wife starting to haunt the Half Price Books location where we got it hoping someone will trade in the rest of the series. Which means, I guess, that the moral of the story is that in my experience, parents will be briefly charmed by this, but there's not enough going on to make it worth your time to read unless you have an infant—in which case you can't pick this up fast enough. ***

A simple book that allows one to see as a baby sees when they are born. The book includes several animals and familiarizes the reader with the various sounds the animals make.
