One of those children books that appeal to adults' taste, while young children give mixed reviews. Some toddlers loved to look at the book and hear my interpretation of the various adjectives, most of them did not get the illustrations (and tried to eat the pages, of course). Older children who were able to understand the drawings found the text too simple. Not my favourite, but a pleasant book to read together during circle time with preschoolers, using it as a provocation for collective reflections on the meaning of the various adjectives. There was a lot of fun, there, but I had to do most of the hard work catching their attention and stimulating their curiosity, where other books hook the children instantly, as if they had a life on their own.

Concept book #2

Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss. ( )

toddler/preschool picture book (animals, alike/different)
simple, short text accompanied by beautiful illustrations of many animals both familiar and less so (key is in the back). I have a feeling the kids will be drawn to the pages (and will want to come up and touch them), so this may work better as a one-on-one than for a large storytime crowd. ( )
