From School Library Journal
Toddler-PreS-Criteria for a toddler book is simple: they should be short with a bouncy read-aloud rhythm, interesting illustrations, and maybe include an educational component. This book hits the mark on every element. The rhymes are fun to say and trip off the tongue. Each page contains exciting interactive elements that teach color identification, counting, volume control, and so much more. It's perfectly paced and designed to help children connect with the act of reading, to whisper and point, and to delight in a day with a colorful tiger. The illustrations are basic but lush, a colorful jungle world prepared for a child to get lost in. VERDICT A truly joyful "reading" experience, perfect for a board book collection, preschool shelves, or lapsitting story hours.-Cat McCarreyα(c) Copyright 2011.
