My daughter who is 2 1/2 loves to read this over and over again. There is so much going on in the pictures that new stories can be told, so it's never the same book twice.

My brother gave this book to my son as a 2nd birthday present. At first I wasn't sure about it since there are no words (or rather very few), just pictures.
However, as I started looking through the pages I realized that the images are intertwined in a way where a story can be made up by the "reader" on the fly.
The characters and objects in each page (all having to do with a preschool environment and activities) are present throughout the book. My son loves it when I ask him questions about a character such as: Where is Izzi (the lead charater) in this page?, What is she doing?, What color is her shirt?, etc.
There is also a dog which is featured in all the pages (in some cases very small) and he loves to look for it among the other images.
The real testament to the greatness of this book is the fact that my son wants me to read it everyday (even after 6 months!). Needless to say I read him other books, but there isn't a night when he doesn't ask for the "school book".
In short, I think this is a great book and would recommend it to any parent who has a toddler. It is a great way to teach them about shapes, colors, the alphabet, numbers, animals, the planets, and the list goes on.
Next I will buy him the "Wow! City! (Ala Notable Children's Books. Younger Readers (Awards))" book.

My little one loves this book! She is at the stage where she doesn't want to be read to but simply wants to look at the pictures and this book is perfect for that because of its large pictures.
