5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!, November 7, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: See Mom Run (Hardcover)

I have two daughters, ages 3 and 5, and they simply adore this book. They talk about Penny all the time (and her medal!), and they talk about wanting to run a marathon. They like to "practice" by running everywhere, with a perfect runner's arm-swing. My wife and I both run, and our girls know we love it -- but this book is an excellent way to further display the joys and benefits of running. The illustrations are warm and entertaining -- some are hilarious. It's really just good fun and positive energy all around.

My daughter loves this book. I am a runner and am always out running so this is something my 3 year old can really relate to.
