Beautiful book - a bit 'heady'
Derived From Web , Nov 10, 2020
I've had many, many, many, many, great books, but this was by far the best. This book is a little long, and over her head she can still mostly hold on to the illustrations, but she can't stop smiling. I enjoy reading this book, but will probably shelve it for a while. Like the other two, They All a Saw Cat has a similar theme but is a bit more age-appropriate and engaging for the preschool set, I'd say.

Wonderful Book
Derived From Web , Jan 20, 2020
We got this book for her because we were desperate to give her a good read. It's now her favorite book and she asks us to read it every night. The youngster has gradually improved her ability to recite the entire book. This book is great for teaching vocabulary related to the 5 senses. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone.

Well Written with Wonderful Art
Derived From Web , Jan 10, 2020
This book is a short book, with few words, that is good for preschoolers and kindergarten children. The book itself is very calming, with beautiful color combinations that use subdued but thoughtfully chosen colors. This book is recommended for anyone looking for a good bedtime or otherwise calm-down time for young children.

Helps young readers learn a little bit about the environment and the importance of protecting it.
Derived From Web , Dec 14, 2019
In fact, my oldest grandson has been read to by his maternal grandmother before he was born. He has a good reputation among book clubs and attends school. He's a voracious reader who loves receiving his own books in the mail and insists on reading them immediately. He especially likes Amazon's Prime Book selections for kids. It's just that rarest of breeds - the ostrich - doesn't get it done."

Beautiful but hard for Kids to Understand
Derived From Web , Dec 3, 2019
I've read many, many, many, books by this writer. I'm a middle-aged adult. The book my son got from the Prime Reading box was a total disaster. At the end of the book he asked if we could exchange it for a book with a story. I argued that the story was about a rock through the ages and time, and that by allowing us to think about eternity through the lens of one place, we might find some common ground. The kid said, “Ok, ma'am. So can we exchange it for a book with a kid's story?" If you're looking for a children's book that young kids will actually want to read again and again, this isn't that book.

A Great Conversation Starter on the Environment for Littles
Derived From Web , Aug 28, 2019
Through the magic of time, we learn the story of a stone that never changes while the world evolves around it. It was a blast, and my kiddos started to ask questions, leading to talks of conservation, global warming and shifts in habitats. The whole thing is a great story. Loved the Rev. Howard's book, would recommend it to anyone.
