Intelligent fun for kids of all ages

There are only a couple of books that completely intrigue my four month old son, and this is one of them. The pictures are fascinating to look at, bold and bright and witty. The accompanying poems are equally witty and enjoy a great variety of rhythm and style. We can go through the entire book without a single lapse of attention. I'm sure that when he's a little bit older, with a bit more comprehension on his side, my child will giggle and much as I do over these verses. A great introduction to the wonderful world of poetry, and a book that recognizes the intelligence of children - equally appealing to adults, as well.

Very different children's book

We got this for my son's birthday. Our friend (who was giving the present) was worried that we might find it a little to "dark" but she really liked it. We love it. It is perfect for little boys. Very different and wonderfully illustrated. A fun alternative way to learn ABC's
