One of THE best books my child has ever had.

My son was given this book several years ago. Over the last year he used it so much it fell apart and I had to go buy a new one. We have all learned so much about the 50 states from this book. Road trips amount to questions about state capitols, flowers, trees and birds. He's fallen in love with Delaware now and wants to visit there soon. Even his teacher has been surprised with how much he's learned just from this one book. Yes, the first one did fall apart but that was bound to happen with being in his bookbag most of last year.

My son loved this book so much that I bought another for one of my coworkers.  I think this book was very instrumental on getting my son to talk as well, we would teach him animal sounds and then the names later on as his vocabulary increased.  At 2 years old his teachers all commented on how impressed they were with his vocabulary.

My daughter absolutely LOVED this book.  If you have a child that is currently too young for lengthy picture books, but too old for board books, this is definitely the book for you.  Not only did this book teach my daughter about action words like "Play, Run, and Clean," but when we were finished she asked me if she could help me with the dishes. I also feel like this would be an excellent book for any teacher working with ESL students

I ordered this book for my son who is just turning 2 years old. He loves reading books but is still at an age where he would tear the paper pages up. The board books are awesome. We love this one. This was actually one that was read to me as I was a child and was one of my favorite books. I was glad to be able to get it for him and hopefully make it one of his favorites too. The story itself is great, the colors are vibrant, it was made well with quality materials, and I expect it to last a long time, even with my destructive son.

What a wonderful read. My 3 year old daughter loved it, and wants me to read it to her repeatedly. It's a great way to learn, the story is very engaging and the illustrations are beautiful. Well done! A highly recommended book for your child.

There are loads of good children's books, but this one is great. We have borrowed it enough from the library that I am actually going to purchase this one. We have a very small apt, so I do not purchase kids books lightly. The illustrations and characters are delightful, and story funny and engaging, and the vocabulary it introduces is superb. Not just good, but great. It has surprised me how many new words my five year old picked up from this, not to mention my seven year old. Reading it repeatedly helps to reinforce the vocabulary, which is why it is worth buying. The four year old even used the word hullabaloo in a sentence. Would make a great gift, and I don't think it is one that is already in most home libraries.

This is one heck of a book with colorful pictures and beautiful illustrations. It is very informative.  My kid loves it and always carries around.

I bought this for my daughter a couple of years ago (way over due review) when she was 6. She was a bit too young but was in awe by all the beautiful drawings in the book. Believe it or not, she had me read it to her over and over again for her bedtime story. A year and a sewing machine later, she made her first scarf. She was so proud of it! And now, she can read the book herself. As a parent, I love the content and drawings. It's an easy and fun read. The drawings depict girls from different cultures wearing age appropriate outfits. LOVE the book!!!

I love this book so much that I bought a second one so my son could have his own copy.

Amazing book, my 2-year-old son's favorite. Neat story, lots of pages, good illustrations, well-built. This is a must-have. It may become your child's favorite book.

My daughter loved this book. She is in the 6th grade and this was one of the first books that she had to read and she actually enjoyed what she was reading. Getting her to read is usually a hard task but I was able to get her to read this without begging her to read it over and over again. She took the time to read this on her own.

My 9-month-old daughter absolutely loves this book. It's the only one that she hands us to read to her. She sits mesmerized during the reading and cries for us to read it again when it's over. I have to read it at least twice each time, but I don't mind at all. It's fun to read and easy for parents to think of ways to be animated while reading. I'm looking forward to this being a favorite throughout her childhood.

My kid has read it a thousand times already (well, maybe a hundred).

I bought this book for my 9 year old daughter. Although she is above the age of this book's target audience but I still wanted her to read it and see what she thinks as she is into music, writing, art and all kinds of fun stuff like that. Her first reaction was, "it rhymes." She then gave it a second read right a way and said its different and it tells you that music exists all around you in everything. She loved the bold colors and illustrations and thought it was a very easy read. Of course she is 9 and also ahead in reading level so it didn't take her more than a couple of minutes to read it.
This is a different book than any others you find in market for little kids. Even for babies, with the bold colors and bigger illustrations it catches your attention right a way. The books starts by asking the reader to utilize all of there senses as oppose to only ears as one may assume in connection with "rhythm," and walks him/her through the different scenarios highlighting different types of sounds creating music and non sounds that have a pattern. My favorite is page nine with all the weathers in one picture. The author takes you from complicated and often unnoticed scenarios you may never think about in terms of music, rhythms, patterns to the very simple one as the beating of one's heart.
Another great aspect of this particular book which I really liked, it comes with its own little dictionary. At the last page you will find words with meanings and pronunciations enables a child to find out what a particular word means in the book without nagging his/her parents or digging through the dictionary. They discover new words and their meaning and be proud of themselves. I would recommend this book for every child, be he/she is a baby discovering new sounds and colors or a beginner to intermediate reader.

We checked this book out from the library a dozen times before we finally realized we should just own it. My 2 year old loves this book so much, she can recite the book page by page. We don't even have to read it to her any more, she knows it so well.
She loves this book, so I love this book.

This is one of the best children books I 've ever found. My child is of mixed race, and the reference to the difefrent colors really helped him to make peace with being a little different. It's a fantastic story and we read it over and over.

This book has it all: A cute story line, amazing watercolor paintings and a terrific lesson on minding good manners.  I would recommend this book to anyone who wants their child to appreciate good literature and art, and learn the value of good behavior at the same time.  I am entertained right along with my son every time we read this book, and it has become a bedtime staple. This book gets carried around and looked at often.
