MY REVIEW:
This is a beautiful book that I read to my son, he loved it so much he asked for it again. The pictures are just precious and they captivated him because he kept pointing out different items in them (he is 21 months). I actually loved reading it to him because not only does the story flow, but the rhyme and cadence of the story are wonderful and sweet. This is a book that would be a perfect gift and even the parents will enjoy reading it to their children at night.
