I have a ton of friends who have toddlers now and I never know what to get them. When I was asking around, a friend of mind recommended this book. Its a book that checks off all of the boxes that I was looking for: engaging colors, fresh images, and a writing that encourages kids to think creatively. I have had great feedback from my friends who I gave this to, so I think this going to be become one of my go-to gifts for whileor at least until Sue Soltis comes out with another book..
