As our narrator tells us, "I love going through this book./Just watch me do it./No matter how long it takes,/I'm going all the way through it! And with an invitation like that, how can you resist turning the page and joining him and his animal friends. Our young guide teaches us that the pages of a book are like doors, each taking us somewhere new. We travel through a meadow, a forest and a cave. We play in autumn leaves, raft down a river in summer and play in the snow in winter. We see the starry sky, new people, places and things and when we're through and finished reading, we can catch our collective breaths and walk around to the front of the book and read it with him all over again..... Robert Burleigh has written a very creative and innovative introduction to the joys of reading as he demonstrates so cleverly that you can go anywhere, do anything and be anyone when you read a book. His light, simple joyful text, told in rhyme, is complemented by award winning artist, Dan Yaccarino's vibrant, imaginative, humorous illustrations. I Love Going Through This Book is perfect for early readers and a wonderful read aloud story youngsters 3-7 will want to hear again and again.

It's beautifully illustrated however no particular theme within. It's more likely good for baby-preschooler.

There was a boy leading a gang of animals appeared one by one and going thru the book. Walking thru seasons, day & night, up and down till the end. I'd say, toddlers could learn many action verbs and names of those funny featured animals.
