This board book is simple and cute, with a very eye catching metallic cover. It was on my friends' baby registry so I got it for them. On every page, a line of the song is illustrated with a different child (girls and boys, various hair colors) holding a different stuffed animal (several different bears, bunny, koala, etc.). I think it would be cute to pair this gift with a stuffed animal so that it goes with the images.I am concerned that the book will get very beat up very quickly. The upper right corner of the cover is already starting to peel just from being jostled during shipping, and there are scratches on the cover as well. I think the blemishes are even more obvious due to the cover's metallic sheen. If the materials can't hold up to shipping, I have serious doubts about their ability to look good after being handled a few times by a young child. That's why I took off a star.
This book is twelve pages of board book fun. It follows 6 different children as they play with their teddy bears and sing the well-known nursery rhyme to them. With great illustrations that convey much love and feeling, children of all ages will love this book and read it time and time again. Caroline Jane Church has authored or illustrated over 90 books; my children have loved all of them that we have read. This book is part of a new series based upon known nursery rhymes with the first two titles being The More We Get Together and You Are My Sunshine. With shiny metallic covers children are immediately attracted to the books. They are books young children in your life will love to have read to them and to learn to read with.
I was initially disappointed when I received this to see that it was not indeed a story, but merely the words with pictures to "You are my sunshine". But, my opinion changed when this soon became my daughters favorite book! After reading it only a few times, she now sits and "reads" it herself, singing the song and it is so sweet!! Love this book and her reaction to it!
I got this for my daughter because we sing it every night before she goes to bed. The pictures are cute, and the board book is easy for her to handle.
There is nothing fancy about this book. Just the song You Are My Sunshine written as a book. But this is one of our favorites!
A two year old loves this book, and the song - most of the time mommy has to sing it rather than read it!
This book has the same words as the classic song. The illustrations are very pretty and my son loves pointing at them.
I purchased 5 of these as gifts to be given with baby afghans that I make for relatives and friends. It is a good beginner book both in terms of the message and in terms of the book's durability for little ones.
