Customer Reviews

Captivated by the illustrations

I am continually amazed at how much my 16-month old baby is attracted to this book. He loves the illustrations and begs for it to be read to him. I don't know what makes this book more special than others for him, but he really loves the pages and colors. We both enjoy the timeless message.

RAVE!

To Everything-I bought it to read to my child to help him cope with the death of his Grandfather-reading it out loud helped me as much or more-I read it again and again to remember that "To Everything, there is some sort of reason that I may never understand but life is a balance-or that it will be.

Great for very young children!

This is the favorite book of my 4-month old infant, and one of the only books for she will sit still! She loves the bright colors and contrasts of this book, and the repetitive, sing-songy words. I highly recommend this book for readers of all ages!

Inspiring, Colorful, Awesome!

The book basically sums up everything there is to life. It takes a very simple, important message and portrays it in vivid images. It's great!
