My Thoughts:

I have been reading this board book to my daughter every week since we received it last month.  With only 14 pages, it is long enough to entertain and keep her engaged,  We sit together snuggled up on the couch, and after lunch read this great book by Elise Broach.  Savannah is at the age where she likes to show she can do things, so I love the interactive feature of this book, where she can lift the flaps to reveal a surprise.  And, with the rhyming text and cute illustrations, this book is a fun read-aloud book with young children. 

This would make for a great stocking stuffer gift for little ones, or just to add to your child’s book collection.  And, you don’t have to worry about your child ripping pages, as this book is sturdy enough to handy their wear and tear playing.
