Colorful

This book makes it easy to teach about colors and animals, playing and friendship. A kindergarten must!

Unforgetable!

I read this to my children when they were young, & now that they are in high school, we are enjoying the rhythm of the Spanish along w/ the English. You cannot forget the prose or the illustrations. And the board book makes it a perfect gift for a toddler. This one is a "keeper."

Get this AND "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See"

Our son loves this book. In his shorthand he calls it "walking" and asks for it regularly when we sit down to read. I read a review that indicated this book is too similar to "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, etc." but I would disagree. Our son likes them both equally but they do not seem interchangeable to him (or to me for that matter). I would also echo the comment that the child character is appealingly ambiquous and could be either gender. The quality of the illustration and the story presented are delightful.

If you own E. Carle's "Brown Bear" You Will NOT Want This Bk

This book is cute however the text is nearly identical to E. Carle's "Brown Bear". I returned this book only because we owned the other already.

Excellent for 8-36 months!!! We loved it!!

A "must have" if you have 8-36 month old!! My 14 month old daughter loves the pics and now knows every animal. Wonderful ending too!
