Not only is the book educational in teaching little ones about rhyming and counting but children will delight in "seeking and finding" baby animals, plus discovering many familiar items incorporated in beautiful, illustrated photographs. I liked Jan Thornhill's unique and imaginative approach to a familiar, favorite story. A vibrant, delightful 'feast to the eyes' (from slippers to brown sugar) and fun time for every preschooler.

My son loves this book. I sing it to him. Each time before we read, we pick something to look for in the illustrations. This book never gets old because there are so many angles to take when reading it (numbers, rhymes, animals, Ispy pictures, etc.) Just be prepared to hide this book on those nights you don't feel like crooning : )

What a clever and engaging book! My preschoolers looked at it over and over, always discovering something new. I am recommending it to my parents on my Christmas suggestion list.

This is a wonderful alternative to the traditional seek & find type books. My daughter LOVES them, but after a while I get very tired of finding the same things over & over... This book takes a different approach by using everday items to form the actual pictures on the pages. For instance, the grass is actually green combs. It is really cool because you have to really look to find some things while others are more obvious. We see something new every time we read it. The actual writing isn't all that creative, but it's still really fun.
