Customer Reviews

A book I enjoy reading to my son over and over

This book is really charming. The illustrations are distinctive and clear. There's a nice balance of light and serious themes. The rhyming text is as readable and enjoyable as Dr. Seuss, but not an imitation.

My son loves it!

This is an outstanding book! When I first read this book to my four year old son, it put a smile on my face and my son kept laughing and asking me to re-read it - which was a first. I had read many books to him before, but this captured his imagination. He takes it with him in the car wherever we go, so he can leaf through it. He has bonded with the animals in the book. The animals are loveable, the duck is wonderfully refreshing, and the illustrations are vibrant and larger than life. I would recommend this highly to any parent looking for a clean, refreshing book for their preschooler. I hope the author continues writing more books like these.
