4.0 out of 5 stars
Cleverly designed, interactive book, February 22, 2005
This review is from: Junior on the Farm: A Spinwheels Book (Hardcover)
Amazon's suggested age for this book is 4-8, which represents the reading level but not necessarily the ideal target for the book. My son, now 4-years-old, gets a great thrill from having an impact on the story when we read it together. On each page, he gets to turn a wheel to choose between different silly alternatives for what Junior sees (without his glasses on). He takes time each night to explain why he chose each different object. We've been reading the book off and on since he was about 2.5, but I've noticed that this year (at 4), he picks it out almost every night (out of hundreds of other books). There's no special educational value of this book, but it does make a young child feel more in control of his world and I think it unleashes a little imagination during reading time. I enjoy hearing my son laugh at the humorous illustrations and the silly choices that HE made while reading the book.
