Sweet rhymes and gorgeous illustrations. I don’t know why I’d never seen this author/artist before! She’s wonderful!

This is the most delightful children's collection of basic concepts done with style. So much fun and so engaging to kids. My 16 month old wants to read this group of books everyday.

Loved it. New words, new pictures, good use of words. Good to read a new children's book and look for variety from our old favorites.

This book is sooo cute & we loved reading it with our little one as much as she loved it being read to her. just a sweet, nice, cozy read. I'm definitely looking for more from this author.

Another classic that we checked out of the library so many times, we ended up buying the book. Beloved by my children.

We really enjoyed the illustrations and text. If my daughter were learning the beginning concepts, I would have bought this book and read it often.
