[.uk] Jamberry (ISBN 1595193626)

Wonderful book:
This was my kids' favorite book when they were little, and now I'm buying many copies for nieces, nephews, and little cousins. Wonderful verse, fun pictures. Lots of repetition, which the little ones love. Enjoy!

Pages too busy:
Although the rhymes as nice and the content of picking various berries come into play - I think the pages are way too busy with lots of illustrations that distracts the story and causes focus problems.

I love it - kids not so thrilled (not sure why):
I love this book. I love the rhythm of it, I love the note at the end, I love the dedication - love it. Unfortunately, I've yet to get either of my nieces overly involved in it. They'll sit through it, but they won't request it :( So I've had to take a star off what I'd normally rank this book as because, in my house, it's just not doing its job. I don't know why they don't love it, they just don't.

Cute book:
My grandson loved this book once he turned about 16 months old. Before that he had no interest.

A favorite classic!:
This book was a favorite with our first child 10 years ago, and we just bought another copy for our 1-yr.-old! I love the flowing, rhyming prose, and the illustrations allow for so much discussion and interaction. As with Dr. Suess books, I find myself repeating the words throughout the day (like when we're eating berries!) I definitely recommend this book!
