“When I first picked up this book, I thought it was just fine. But then my one-year-old fell in love with it, so we read it (sang it) hundreds of times. She's three now, and still loves it; so does her one-year-old sister. The song is fun, and my toddler enjoys being able to read it by herself because she knows the song well. The illustrations are bright and cheery, and there are lots of fun details to look at on every page.”
