Another classic! A must have for every child! I actually got the pop-up version for my son's 3rd birthday and what a hit. I give this book an "A plus"!
very good book, i read it to my 3 year old. Great for story time. Alex
My oldest is now 9, my youngest is 6 and I read this to my kids all the time. My version has become a little twisted as the kids have gotten older: "No! Don't go so close to the sun!" A fun read, even without the extras. ;-D
A MUST READ for spring! My 3 year old loves it.
great book for pre-schooler.
Great for colors and numbers.
Out of all the Eric Carle books this is my daughter's favorite.
A simple but imaginative story for very small children--plus an excellent literacy-development tool---with innovative illustrations and format.
