A charming picture book for nursery school children. Simple, lyrical text and engaging illustrations take young children on a tour of life for a mother, father and baby living in a cosy house in a lovely little town. Who do they meet? By envisioning a child's secure place in the world it soothes as it invites readers to explore. Ages 2-5.
This book mesmerized my 15 month old daughter. To an adult, it seems like it's about nothing. But it's a quiet simple description of a baby/toddler's day. We both like the cadence of the text, she loves pointing out things in the illustrations, and the book mirrors some of her experiences. This is a great in-between book - she was getting bored with the simple board books, but wasn't ready for the wordier picture books. And some picture books are just beyond a toddler's scope of knowledge/understanding. Other books on this same in-between level are BABY TALK by Judy Hindley and TEN LITTLE FINGERS, TEN LITTLE TOES by Mem Fox. I hope Scott Beck writes more like this!
sweet and simple
