Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Baby/Toddler—Scanlon's beautiful, award-winning ode to a child's universe is a picture book classic in the making. This shrunken-down board book includes the poetic text in its entirety and Frazee's appealing spot art and stunning spreads. The simple joys and wonder of childhood are tenderly captured as well as the inevitable challenges. "Slip, trip, stumble, fall/Tip the bucket, spill it all/Better luck another day/All the world/goes round this way." A perfect, portable bit of family life to take along on any journey, easily tucked into a backpack or diaper bag.

5.0 out of 5 stars Poetic writing style, very calming to read before naptime/bedtime
Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2024
Verified Purchase
This book surprised me and I now understand why so many people rave about the writing. Every section of the book rhymes and flows like you’re reading a poem and the sketch-like images are perfect accompaniment to the words. It shows the world as an exciting, exhilarating place to explore while also showing how the world can be a gloomy or quiet at times.

When read in soft, breathy tones, it instantly calms my son down and he pays attention to the book. This started as early as 3 months and continues at 6 months of age.

The last section doesn’t quite flow as perfectly as the first half of the book (the reference to love and peace feels oddly out of place, unoriginal when you compare with the rest of the book because it is very cliché/obvious to show up in a children’s book), but nevertheless only a few adults might be bothered by it.

I love this book. Originally found it in a neighborhood book stand and my daughter loved it so hard it fell apart. I bought two new on Amazon, one for me and another for my god son. The storyline isn’t out of this world or anything but it is thoughtful and sweet. The imagery is so wonderful that it kind of takes me away as I’m reading it to her. I’ve been wanting to get some of the images and have them framed for her bedroom. There is also a lot of consistency and detail where they will carry over specifics throughout each page. Doesn’t matter for a kiddo but for me it speaks to the attention to quality.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, powerful, sentimental
Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2022

This is an amazing bit of poetry and illustration for young children, ages 2+. It works well as a board book.

There is not much of a story here, but there is a logical progression. It appeals on the level of the individual page as well as the movement through the book.

Children as young as 3 years old can probably memorize the entire book but it's still interesting and readable for adults. I believe it harkens to an earlier time, a simpler time, and focuses on some of the best things in life.

I have high standards for my children's toys and books. This book surpasses my expectations. I would recommend it as a gift for friends or family. Also good for teaching or classroom use. If you purchase it for your own children, expect to read it daily, but it's not at all tedious. It's a pleasure for me to read every time.

This is a sweet and wonderful book with a great message. Exactly what I wanted to get for my future kids. The image quality was not as nice as I was expecting, though, and I was disappointed by that. I bought 2 and gave 1 as a gift to a couple I know with a new baby.

My daughter received this book as a gift when she was just born. She's now 2-years-old and it continues to be a favorite. I love the rhythm of the words, the poetry of placing parts with whole, the beautiful imagery, the way it makes me feel like I'm living in a beach town. Such a wonderful children's book. I've purchased for friends multiple times and highly recommend.
