Reviews

Super fun pop-up book

[Randie D. Camp, M.S. · Rating 3 out of 5]

My son saw this at the library and a huge smile spread across his face. He says he remembers reading it when he was 2 but the book was new to me. His in-home childcare provider must have read this with him.

Anyways, to the book review:

Yolen's verses are short, fun, and rhythmic. The illustrations were extremely detailed for a board book and the flaps added another dimension of fun and understanding to the story. The flaps also incorporated early childhood concepts such as colors and numbers. A fun book for little ones that enjoy trains.
