Reviews

[Stephanie Hartman]

This verse book is one of my childhood favorites. The illustrations could be framed and put on a wall. The poems are so cute and it really brings me back to that childhood wonder of seeing rain or bath time through a child's eyes.

[Sarah]

This is not the story of the three bears and goldielocks, but stories in poems about them doing different things.

[Linsey Taylor]

This is a cute poetry book for each holiday.

I read it once with the 4 yr old in my life and she liked it, but each time I offered to read it again she wasn't interested. It didn't have the same fun to it that so many of Yolan's books have.
