We picked this book out at the local library a few weeks ago. It sat on James' bedroom floor for about a week before I picked it up and read it to him one night at bedtime. Well let's just say that was a very sad week... after the first night this was always the first book asked for at bedtime!
James loved every page of this book! What's not to love: tractors, cranes, pirates, a fire spewing dragon, boats... It's every little boys dream {or at least mine ;)}.
I'll tell you what I loved: predictable, patterned sort of text, rhyming, a few pages without words that were good for talking about the book. I loved it because it was only about four sentences per page and because it was fun and rhyming {I think this is why} James very easily memorized a few of the pages. What a great confidence booster! There was also so much to talk about that each reading we talked about different things.
I'd say this is a great book for any kiddo interested in boyish sorts of stuff. ;)
James' age: 3 years 3 months
