4.0 out of 5 stars Good Toddler Book, March 3, 2011

This review is from: Blue Burt and Wiggles (Hardcover)

This was a nice story by Derek Anderson. This would be a good end of summer book to show how the seasons are changing and what summer looks like (green grass, flowers, sun etc) and what season is next. Also a good friendship book as the other reviewer stated. We are not quite at that level of understanding yet, but when it comes time - I am sure this will be a good book to go to.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good teaching guide for parents who wish to promote togetherness., December 9, 2006

This review is from: Blue Burt and Wiggles (Hardcover)

Perfect for read-alouds. Derek Anderson's BLUE BURT AND WIGGLES presents an unusual friendship between a bird and a worm. If a kid thinks opposites don't make good pals, BLUE BURT AND WIGGLES maintains otherwise, showing how common concerns lead to unusual friendships: a good teaching guide for parents who wish to promote togetherness.

The illustrations are amazing in this book by Derek Anderson, but it was the story that really captured my heart. It has a deep message about change, good-byes, and new beginnings that is important for "children" of all ages.
