Our review:

Kids say : Not yet rated

With minimal words on each page, the illustrations speak for themselves in this vibrant board book. The text maintains a rhythm that's fun to read aloud, but the lightness of the text doesn't take away from the importance of the message shared. This little book is a great way to get kids excited about colors and animals at the same time.
