Reviews
[A] rare wordbook that can actually spur ideas and conversation and the spontaneous telling of stories. -- The New York Times (USA)
[It] rounds up all that really matters, from the time they get up in the morning to when they venture out into the world. An excellent first lexicon. -- 50 Best Childrens Books of 2011, New Zealand Listener
"This book has it all. No, really, pretty much all. The oversize board-book format, with thick, sturdy white pages, is home to a charming array of objects organized in various ways " -- Booklist (US)
