She said it was her favorite book ever!
My son loved seeing himself and reading the great information provided in this book! Great buy
The adults are in love with it but we have yet to share with the young one. I think we will enjoy her reaction to it more than the book. The colors are enchanting and the truth about rest across all the animal groups is gently shared. My daughter has a tough time getting my grandchild to go to sleep so it will be ineresting to see if this helps the process.
Fantastic! Loved this book! Graphics are amazing and the story is outstanding! Only thing I would improve would be shipping timeframe and ease of on use for the website. Otherwise it’s great!
Rachel received her first book and was completely delighted. We look forward to her next book.

The book is great, my only wish would be a picture on the back cover part and i should have gotten a hardcover. Iam not keen on the soft cover.
