Summary: Worst Book
Comment: My 2 1/2 year old loves to read. We have 2 bookshelves full of books from several authors. After reading this book, I can say without hesitation that it is the worst book on his shelf...strange...If you want a good book that is different, buy Sugarbush Spring. This was a complete waste of money.

Summary: An overlooked classic -- Early Sendak for kids and adults
Comment: This book is a terrific classic -- a listing of definitions, "laws" if you will, that are really almost self-evident in childhood. Each page contains a collection of drawings that illustrate the definition of something. The illustrations tend to show the early Sendak style, but in this book, there is essentially no overwhelming background -- each boy or girl or dog is illustrated in black and white (or beige). Each picture is self-contained, but there is some flow to the text on certain pages.
It's difficult to describe this book, but there is really a separate level for adults in these definitions that makes this an enjoyable read for parent and child. For the adult, this book evokes the simplest play of childhood and a return to certain basic principles that were probably totally accepted and later forgotten. I don't know why, but this is an overlooked classic. I can't think of another book like this.

Summary: A wonderful book that my kids want to hear over and over
Comment: Or maybe it's me that picks out the book over and over at bedtime. I was really touched the other day when my 5-year-old son helped my 3-year-old son zip his jacket, looked at me and said "a brother is to help." A great book that everyone should read.
