I won this book through a giveaway and found it charming! I love the simplicity and cheerful illustrations. I work at a preschool and plan to use the story this spring as we learn about seeds and spring!

I don't have children, but love children's books for their illustrations and stories, and love to read about mice dressed in fine clothes living in a lovely house. This is a wonderful book! The illustrations and colors are vibrant and the story line sweet and simple addressing any fears a child would have regarding the first day of school. It is a grand addition to my small collection of contemporary children's books.

We absolutely adore this book! Waited for years for it to come back into print and the wait was worth it. The text is simple and short, yet the tone and tempo are beautiful and flow nicely. The book has a real calming effect. The illustrations are amazing, such wonderful use of watercolors. The simplicity of this story leaves much room for explansion with your child. You could study vocab words (channel, swells, harbor, beacon). You could expand on the topics of boats, fishermen, lighthouse, or (stormy) weather, or introduce ocean animals such as whales and dolphins. Discussion of the moon and stars would be another great add on. This book is a treasure in our collection and a perfect jumping off point for learning with a yourg child!

What a sweet book! A great resource for parents when trying to explain to their children the concept of death. The illustrations are simple, but beautiful. The watercolors are calming and soft, a perfect compliment to the rhyming text.  Highly recommend!

Such a sweet book! It's so whimsical and inspiring!  The cover design didn't really attract me much with this book - some of the illustrations I really liked within the book though.  The rhyme and meter of the book work really well.

 As a traveller myself I enjoyed the fact that it's encouraging children to get up and out, go and explore and see what's out there as home is always there for you to come home to - familiarity will always be there as a safety net.

In some ways it's along the same theme as Seuss's 'Oh the Places You'll Go' but in a more basic manner.  I like it.  Understanding that the late Don Freeman's wife put this together from many of the his illustrations, drawings and paintings that he left behind makes more sense of it and draws it together a bit more for me.

Anything that fosters interest within children of the world around them always has value.

Please note that Booklook sent me a complimentary copy for my review however this review is entirely my own.

This book is by far my favorite Emily Winfield Martin book! The illustrations are so beautiful I would happily hang them all on the walls of my baby nursery.

The story is incredibly sweet, my husband and I have spent many a nights reading this to my baby bump and we cannot wait to read it to our baby when she arrives!

This book looks divine on our nursery bookshelf!

What an amazing book!  THis is so sweet and written so well, it is easy to remember all the steps to the sun salutation with the help of the animal friends that the children meet. It is simple and wonderful with opportunities for very colorful pictures.  I will read it to my daughter now who is 2, but will give it to her to color when she is a little older and will color it beautifully as it will compliment the story forever.  It is a giver and a keeper!
