Readers Comments:
I think this book is a great addition to any nursery. Although it is geared towards infants, I feel it can be enjoyed by readers of all ages. Aside from the fact that all children should have a collection of classic poems and rhymes, I feel what sets this book apart is the amazingly colorful illustrations. The pictures are absolutely beautiful and each poem has appropriate textured illustrations that compliment the rhyme and keep the child engaged. One could actually tell the story from the illustrations alone. I highly recommend this adorable book.
Age Appropriateness: All Ages (although geared towards infants)
