Full Text Reviews:
School Library Journal - 10/01/2014 PreS-Gr 1—The minimal rhyming text in this sentimental picture book is accompanied by stock photos creating a contextually poor premise. The photos feature young animals of all types, from giraffes and orangutans to a cuddly kitten. The photos are accompanied by sappy verses like "Teach me to follow./I'll watch you lead./All these things/from you I need" or "Teach me to smile,/I'll smile with you!/Laughs and giggles/all day through." Young children will enjoy the adorable photos and the easy-to-read rhymes for an independent reading or a group read-aloud. However, better books on the natural world abound. This one is too simplistic to be more than a supplemental purchase.—Nancy Jo Lambert, McSpedden Elementary Frisco, TX - Copyright 2014 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
