Toddler loves

This book mesmerized my 15 month old daughter. To an adult, it seems like it's about nothing. But it's a quiet simple description of a baby/toddler's day. We both like the cadence of the text, she loves pointing out things in the illustrations, and the book mirrors some of her experiences. This is a great in-between book - she was getting bored with the simple board books, but wasn't ready for the wordier picture books. And some picture books are just beyond a toddler's scope of knowledge/understanding. Other books on this same in-between level are BABY TALK by Judy Hindley and TEN LITTLE FINGERS, TEN LITTLE TOES by Mem Fox. I hope Scott Beck writes more like this!

sweet and simple

Almost every child could relate to this book in some way as it depicts a variety of typical daily scenes within a community.
