Neat book

A friend read this book to my child, then around 11 months old, while she was babysitting him at her house. He enjoyed it so much that she gave him a copy for his birthday. He really likes this book. I like it because it is quite different from your typical board book/preschool book. It is a refreshing change of pace from the typical story lines. My friend, who is a former teacher, says that the repetition is good for children.

Wonderful!

My son, who is 4 loved this book from the time he was able to say, "1, 2, 3!" He is already reading at a 2nd or 3rd grade level, and it's thanks to great books like this. I would also recommend Chicka chicka boom boom! All you need to do is read these types of books to your children daily, and boom! They're smarter than you!!

a must have for everyone with kids

I never thought this would ever catch my toddler's attention at all, but it did!!! He loved looking at the colorful and bold illustrations. Eric Carle has done an artistic stimulation for the very young readers. Illustrations were done so simple but captivating. Carle & Martin were able to introduce animals and colors in one good book. The text flows so well...repetitive and really stays in the mind after a couple of reads. This book is like a journey on an enchanting zoo seeing different kinds of animals in varying colors looking at you as a teacher and children guide you till the end. It brings out the best of a child's imagination, and adults alike.
