A lovely book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Spring Is Here: A Barnyard Counting Book (Preschool Pop-Ups) (Board book)
This is a fun and beautiful book. A perfect way to welcome spring and have fun counting, too! Pamela Jane's rhymes are perfect--original and fun. And Melissa Sweet's illustrations capture the spirit of Jane's writing and of spring in the country. I am buying this as a new baby gift, as well as a gift for a toddler I know. This is a sturdy pop-up book, one that I think will withstand hundreds of readings.

Bright and Springy Pop-Up,
By A Customer
This review is from: Spring Is Here: A Barnyard Counting Book (Preschool Pop-Ups) (Board book)
Attractive to pop-up lovers and young counters alike, this book will brighten your day. Children will love the friendly images and ticklish words while they learn to count with the details of a farm spring. The lush, lively paintings and adept poetry will engage older read-aloud partners as they go through this one over and over again.
