Customer Reviews

Very sweet

I love this book. I bought it because of the illustrator. Even though my son is 2.5 I still love reading this one to him. A great addition to any bookshelf.

My 4 year old son just loves this book

And I am a little surprised about that because he's very much a smash up cars, trucks, big wheels, type of kid. When I read it to him the first time there was complete silence. Very unusual for my boy!!! Then we read it again, and again. We looked at the pictures as we went, he was asking questions, wanted to know what the acorn was, and the comet. Then after we had read it again, he took the book to his father and "read" him the story. The illustrations are just beautiful.

my three year old loves this story!

This short story is a mother desribing her love for her child using items in their lives. A sweet short story. My daughter loves the soft pictures and the little animals at play on each page.

Tender, classic, imaginative

The story is a wonderful expression of love from a parent to a child. The story is simple and beautiful and the illustrations are old fashioned yet very new. My 14 month old loves the story and the extra kisses that inevitably become part of the reading.

Beautiful and Fun To Read

This is a great book, not just for kids, but for the parents who have to read it to them. My kids (4 1/2 and 3) love the slightly quirky, colorful illustrations and the simple, rhyming text. They always laugh at the fun paintings of elephants with strollers and acorn men. And it's just as much of a treat for me to read after having to endure so many mind-numbing, repititious kids books. Definitely one of the best kids/parents books to come along since Don Carter's "Heaven's All-Star Jazz Band."
