This book celebrates what is special about being a child. The same familiar pattern on every page, allows children to anticipate what will come next. It is a wonderful book to share with young children.

I think they have the age range wrong for "Another Important Book." Rather than being for 4 to 8 year-olds, I think 3 and under might be more accurate.

Certainly my children (3 and 5; boy and girl) had little interest in this book. They found the drawings too babyish and the content just did not spark any calls for another reading.

Counting to 6? I've found my toes? Just all 'non-starters' for preschoolers and kindergarteners, unlike the original "The Important Book" which dealt with observations of the world around us.

Two Stars (for the 3 and up age range). Check the images that Amazon has provided to decide on appropriateness for your child.
For those interested in revisiting babyhood with older children we suggest Margaret Miller's "Now I'm Big".

The original Important Book is core literature in our district. Its an awesome book which lends itself to many different writing prompts. This was a nice book not an awesome one. Third Grade Teacher

My son enjoys this book. He relates to it because it talks about special things he can do at age four. It covers ages newborn through six. The simple rhyming pattern lends itself to quick memorization by children. The format could also be used by older students as an example of how to write a poem about their own age.

This book is a great book for the classroom. It is a great intro. to create an "Important Book" with your own class. We did it and the children loved creating a page to tell about what was important about them. We love it!!

We received this book as a birthday gift. Although she is just 14 months old, my daughter adores this book -- especially the section on three-year-olds (The important thing about being three is ME!). She participates heartily. I highly recommend this book.
