5.0 out of 5 stars My daughter is WILD about this book---a great reading starter!
My almost 3 year old is completely and totally taken with this book! We are reading it many, many times a day. It's such a simple yet somewhat unique concept---a giraffe goes through his day reading the labels which are on everything in his environment. They are not labeled like Richard Scarry books, but have pictures of actual labels attached to them with strings. It...

Carlo the giraffe likes to read. Objects in his house are labeled---even his dad. Spanyol's simple text is appropriate for toddlers and young preschoolers. Parents can encourage children to identify the objects and begin to associate them with the written word. Bold black text and bright colorful illustrations on double-paged spreads make an attractive format.

5.0 out of 5 stars My daughter is WILD about this book---a great reading starter!, June 21, 2007
This review is from: Carlo Likes Reading (Paperback)
My almost 3 year old is completely and totally taken with this book! We are reading it many, many times a day. It's such a simple yet somewhat unique concept---a giraffe goes through his day reading the labels which are on everything in his environment. They are not labeled like Richard Scarry books, but have pictures of actual labels attached to them with strings. It looks so cute when things like a row of ants are labeled! I think this book is giving my daughter the idea that you can read the name of anything---not that someone that young really needs to learn that yet, but if there's a book that she loves and which teaches also, that's fine with me! Her favorite page shows Carlo reading a baby book to a baby giraffe. The book shows reading as a enjoyable everyday activity. I really do highly recommend it!

2.0 out of 5 stars A bit too old for our 19 month old grandson, March 21, 2008
This review is from: Carlo Likes Reading (Hardcover)
Our grandson didn't enjoy this book. I think he is too young for it. I have saved it for later.
