"The imperfect, child-like art is so perfect, it feels like some wise genius child artist (Eric Carle) let out his relatable inner-child for the rest of us to adore." ISBN: 0-8050-0201-4
The book has some really wonderful reviews and is classified as age-appropriate for the 6 month - 2 year age group. The simplicity of its title, the childlike art, the chanting ability add to its popularity. The vibrant colors grab the interest of toddlers. The sing-song rhythm and the use of repeated words build a musical texture easy to comprehend. The page-turning curiosity as to what the next animal will see creates a desire to know what these animals are up to.
What is not to love, especially when it also includes a 'Mommy' image subconsciously giving approval of the pages presented. The book is a winner as it brings together images of children of many ethnicities. The last page joins everyone into a universal recap of the whole book and what the animals see. It is a positive, rhythmic, and enjoyable effort, a brilliant work of art. I know in 2020 there are a number of repeat ideas of this same book, but something about the original product holds fast.
