We are a home of book lovers. When my first child was born she had books waiting for her, and I wish this had been one of them.

I really like the pro-book stance this author takes. And the delight that the boy has in his *own* book is obvious from the illustrations.

He takes it everywhere with him. Has fun 'reading' it on his own, putting in the shelf all by himself. He even reads it to his cat and shows it to his baby sister/brother.

Four Stars. A sturdy little book that shows book ownership in a positive light. Good addition to a baby or toddlers library.

Kristine O'Connell George does a beautiful job sharing the joy of a first book with readers young and old. The illustrations are colorful! Really a joy to read. I recently checked it out from the library to share with my 11 month old and she will be receiving her own copy for her first birthday. It is perfect for toddlers because of its stiff and easy to turn pages and rounded corners. Enjoy!

Although this boardbook had many pages to it, the pictures were not varied enough to be very interesting. Basically, this little boy carries a book around with him for the entire day. Each page show him doing something different with the book against a gradient colored background. And, there is a cat that comes and goes through the story. Not much more to say.

We got this book from the library a couple of weeks ago, and it has become my 19-month old's favorite. He loves it so much that he will be getting his own copy for Christmas. He loves books, and so he really relates to the story. He especially likes it when the boy in the story puts the book on his head and then I put the "Book!" on HIS head. He always gives a big smile. One warning, though, don't get this book unles you like reading the same book with your little one over, and over, and over again!

My daughter got this for her first birthday and still loves this book nearly 4 months later. The colors are bright, the illustrations engaging, and the lesson that books are fun is a good one. I really think she learned what "upside down" means from this book (the little boy talks about reading the book upside down), and the part where he puts it on his head "like a hat" is one of her favorite parts that she always likes to act out. You and your little one won't be disapointed.
