5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and educational book!, January 11, 2007

This review is from: The Rainy Day (Hardcover)

My daughter received the Snowy Day as an early Christmas present this year-which is an AWESOME book. Because of that, I requested the Rainy Day, as well. These books are wonderful-amazon recommends for 4-8, but my 2 year old loves them. My daughter has always loved books over any other toy, though. They are made of a heavier-duty paper then the typical book and the cover is a little bit puffy, so they are durable enough to put up with a toddlers inquisitive hands. These books explain some of the science behind what's happening incorporated into an entertaining story. What a GREAT idea! AND the illustrations are wonderful, too!

I bought this book for my four-year old daughter and she loves it! It has pretty illustrations and it's also educational. Although [...] says it's for ages 4-8, the Usborne website states 2-years old and up. I love the Usborne books because they are so educational and engaging to look at, which doesn't hurt!

The kids can't get enough of these books. They are sturdy and they love picking them up and love hearing them over and over again. Beautiful pictures, easy to understand, perfect for toddlers and pre-school.
