I appreciated this book for many reasons. I thought the illustrations were excellent and very child-friendly. The color scheme was soft and sweet; both of which matched the tone of the entire book. The overall mood of this picture book was gentle and I think young readers will love it. The author includes many descriptive, yet appropriate words to introduce to the children to. With more animals as the main characters of the story, kids will find this to be a great bedtime story they enjoy having their parents read aloud to them.
Another adorable note about this book is that the cover continues onto the backside of the book with a cute quote and more animal characters to look at. Kids will have plenty to look at while reading through the story and have a great time pointing out their observations of what is happening in each picture of the book. Overall, the students will get a strong message from the text and a sweet appreciation for the illustrations.
