Over in the Meadow (Picture Books)

Rating:
Summary: An excellent rendition!
Review: From the award winner Ezra Jack Keats comes another masterpiece of a picture book. Based on the original by Olive Wadsworth, Keats's animals come alive on the page as the babies perform their mothers' commands. Keats uses bright colors and simple lines to make this a good book for sharing with a large group or single child.

Summary: Great Book for Babies, Kids and Adults to Share!
Review: We love this book! I hope it never ever goes out of print. We started reading it with our son when he was about 11 months old. He loved the rhythms and we all loved the illustrations. It is beautiful to look at while you read. Now our son is almost two and I find that this book just gets better and better for us to read. We all have it memorized (my son chimes in at the end of each line). We are trying to teach him to count and he loves animals, both of which are so wonderfully illustated by Keats. A true classic! A "must have" for kids! I am buying it now for a friend who is pregnant and, like me, loves nature.
