I bought this book for the illustrations, they are simply adorable, and I would love to give it five stars just for that, but I can't. The trouble is the text, every page rhymes -- except for one -- it's like stubbing your toe in the book each time you read it. At first it made me laugh, then it started to annoy me when I read the book again and again to my daughter, as it disrupts the soothing rhythm found in most bedtime books. Why one page doesn't rhyme I don't know, but sadly it lessens my enjoyment of this book.
We love this book. Beautiful illustrations. And for everyone that is complaining about "roar" and "paw" rhymingâ¦the woman who wrote the book is British. And the way they pronounce those words rhyme.
This book is adorable! The illustrations are probably the most beautiful I've seen, in my opinion. The words are calming and sweet. I've been reading this book to my daughters for about 7 years, and it's my favorite! I think I like it more than they do. We bought this copy to give as a baby shower gift.
I bought a hardback of this book when I was pregnant with my (now) 8 year old daughter. It was one of my favorite bedtime books for her. The rhythm of the words is soothing, the drawings are beautiful and I love how the sky gets just a bit darker in each scene as the sun sets. I have purchased the padded board book for a soon-to-be mother so hopefully she and her daughter can enjoy it as well!
This is a wonderful bedtime book!! It has a wonderful story that winds down at the end as all the animals are going to sleep. The pictures are brightly colored and so adorable!! A must have!
I bought this book for my 4 year old daughter and got most of this series now. It is very cute in writing and pictures and educational,too. It is one of our favorite good-night story now :o)
This is a sweet book, and our toddler really loves it. It's a great bedtime book. We're all very impressed by the illustrations. They're clear in calming colors. The loss of one star came with the loss of one rhyme. I know poems don't have to rhyme, but when every other page rhymes, please be consistent. The words that are supposed to rhyme are "roars" and "paws". We have tried different accents and can't even make a forced rhyme. I've seriously considered coming up with different words for that one page and writing them in with a permanent marker. That would mess up the pretty pages, though. I kinda want to scream just on that page, but we really do love the rest of the book!
This is a great book to read your kids at bedtime. The illustrations are beautiful and the wording flows very well. My daughter loves looking at all the different animals. I have purchased extra copies to give as gifts.
