Appraisal:
This
book is advertised as being aimed at ages 2-5, so I nabbed two
grandkids, one two years old, the other seven, to help me check it
out at the little one's bedtime. Big sister and I took turns, reading
two pages and passing the book off to the other. Each page is simple,
with a color illustration on a white page, which supports the words.
The vocabulary was easy for big sister to read and the story, while
simple for the target audience, still fun. The little one even played
along for part of it, looking at the pictures as we read. (Getting
her to sit still for even a few seconds is an accomplishment.)
The
illustrations are simple enough with a lot of contrast in the colors
so that reading on a black & white e-ink Kindle isn't a total
waste. You'll need to hold your Kindle sideways as it is formatted to
automatically display this way. However, to get the most out of it,
I'd advise a Fire or Kindle app on a tablet, computer or smartphone
as the better method.
