 Great Toddler Reading! August 23, 2008
Karen G. (Middle Tennessee)
This book is wonderful. The younger children love the lilting meter of the poetry and the repetitive phrasing. Aside from the somewhat creepy and androgenous main character, the illustrations are beautiful. The pictures show the animals hiding, allowing older children to guess the animal before it is revealed on the following pages. Older children are also able to recite along with the repetitive phrasing, allowing them to feel like real "readers."

My toddler loves the book because of the repetition, and his loving it is really what matters. To me,it reminds me too much of Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? by Bill Martin/Eric Carle. The illustrations are mediocre and there are only six animals in the book.

The book was purchased for my daughter who had to read it over the summer for 1st grade. She loved the book and best of all I ordered it one day and it came to my home the next. Thanks for the quick service I will buy from here again.

We all love this book at home. It is a board book so tough enough for a toddler. It is also fairly short which is great for little attention spans. It talks of animals which are big deals for my little toddler. It adds concepts of colors in a natural way with each animal. The rythmic read lends itself to using two voices which my son loves.
Good book!

A young child goes for a walk. This story has repetitive rhyme for the very young child. The child first sees a black cat. As he walks, he sees a variety of animals. The cat follows him, as well as the other animals. He or she meets: a brown horse, a red cow, a green duck, a pink pig and a yellow dog. In the story, the child is missing one shoe as he meets the pig. Each time a partial glimpse of the animal is shown in the illustrations. The reader can play a guessing game.
The child is not defined by the story as being a boy or a girl. I wanted to know. Children memorize the book as they read it over and over again. Memorization is the first stage of reading. The illustrations were beautiful. The text didn't have much meaning as far as the plot goes.
