Customer Reviews

So much fun!

I bought this book on a whim to add to my son's Easter basket. He was a bit ambivalent at first, but in the last few weeks (at 15 months) he has really fallen in love with this book. It is the first book he has brought to me and "asked" me to read.

Oh,this is a winner!

My 16 month old daughter loved this book the minute I opened it! The illustrations are fresh and captivating. The story is a new juxtaposition of animals you don't often see together: bees, chicks, and cats. And what a blast it is to read aloud! The freshest aspect of this text is that the rhymes can be read both as fun nonsense or as a real story of the consequences of getting caught in the rain. And the illustrations are...

The talent of Cathy MacLennan goes even further with illustrations briming with imagination and texture!...

Beautifully illustrated & beautifully written

I bought this book for my nephew who is 18 months old. He absolutely LOVES it. The manner the author/illustrator uses is VERY good. Upon the first reading, my nephew thought the chicks were actually fuzzy. The sounds that make up the text are mesmerizing. The story features bees, chicks, and cats. Children who are learning animals will be captivated. Many times when playing, we'll hear him, "Chicky, chicky, chook chook,"...
