Every time I see my three year old cousin I take a stack of books to read. I usually spread them out and let him chose in which order he would like to hear them. This title and Bizzy Bear: Off We Go! had to be pried from his grip before I could read them. He was quick to declare before ever hearing one word of text that, "Like these books, can I keep them?". Thankfully we have a well established rule that none of the books can be kept and that I won't bring the same title twice so we have to enjoy them for the four hours I am there and then return them to the book bag so that I can bring more the next time. These two titles will probably make it into the bag again in a month or so. He was "singing" along to each spread and very interested in all of the tabs and other manipulatives in the book. I liked that the pages were extra sturdy and filled with images we could discuss.

Why is he Bizzy? Why can't he be Busy Bear?

Aside from that, which really does nag at me, we love this book. The construction of the moving parts is exceptionally sturdy, which I cannot rate highly enough when it comes to Lu. The illustrations have a nice combination of being full of things to look at, but still simple enough that it's obvious what's going on (it reminds me a little of Richard Scarry in that sense).

Not as good as fire rescue but still good.
