Time to feature a fabulous book for the littlest of readers. I would be surprised if anyone reading this hasn't heard of this classic story, but it is truly a wonderful book that deserves recognition. This book is a rather sentimental one for me, as it is one of the very first books that truly engaged and captivated both of my children from the time they were born. Even when they were just a few weeks old, I felt they truly connected to this story and loved reading it. There is something magical about Martin's simple, rhythmic phrases and Carle's bold, collage-style images that make this a perfect first book for any child. My seven month old daughter still loves to read (and chew on) this book, and I can just feel her brain taking it all in as she stares intently at the picture on each page, just my son used to do. And even though he is now three, my son still loves reading this book with (and especially to) us. Many thanks to my dear friend Alisa, who gave us this book before my son was born. It is definitely a family favorite.
