This book was a hand me down from my niece to my daughter, when she was born. It is severely tattered, which is a sign that it has been loved by two little readers.

Evaluation:
This
is a good length for reading to a baby or toddler. It is only 10 pages, and the book is
incredibly sturdy. The fabric, feely,
parts are a big draw for the smallest kids.
And as a parent you can know that
your kids are developing sensory skills and building basic book sense, i.e. how
to turn pages. I enjoy all the books in
the series, and my daughter is still a huge fan, even though they are what she
refers to as “baby books”.
